![]() Here we’ve created two anchor stations, one for each rope in the Twin Tension Rope System.īegin by attaching a CLUTCH to the anchor at each station. When in the field, sufficient anchors may include a nosed-in truck, adequately sized tree, approved picket system, or other natural or artificial anchors. The anchors in this video are provided by a fire training facility and are intended for demonstration purposes only. To prepare for a lowering/hauling operation, build solid anchors in accordance with department policies and regulatory guidelines. In this video, we complete each task with the 11mm gray CLUTCH. We will show hauling on a single line with a belay and hauling in a twin tension system.īoth the 11mm gray CLUTCH and 13mm red CLUTCH function the same in this scenario, the primary difference between them being rope diameter compatibility. ![]() Once lowering is complete, we will discuss how to transition to hauling. We will begin by demonstrating how to setup and operate a twin tension lowering system, including a brief review of the Double CLUTCH TTRS. I’m the director of the CMC Rescue School.įor this video, we will focus on the CLUTCH being used in anchor-based systems for lowering and hauling. Suited to a multitude of rigging operations, the CLUTCH moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use. ![]() The CMC CLUTCH™ BY Harken Industrial™ is the latest evolution in rescue and rope access hardware. Always use a backup when training or working on rope. ![]() Combining the CLUTCH with CMC’s G11 Lifeline creates 11mm NFPA G-Rated systems that save weight and reduce volume, ideal for any rescue or training operation. We begin by demonstrating single line methods and progress to Twin Tension Rope Systems (TTRS) in mirrored and nested double CLUTCH configurations. This CLUTCH application video covers lowering and hauling with the 11mm CLUTCH. ![]()
