Edge Negotiation - IRATA and SPRAT

Every edge is going to have slightly different challenges, but here are some general things to keep in mind as you do! On assessment or evaluation there's really only two ways to fail this maneuver:

1. climbing over in your croll, or toothed chest ascender, putting a potential shock load if you were to fall mid climb.

2. On the way back down, not dressing your ropes appropriately on the rope protection. In training, we simulate the sharp edge, so we have to use our imagination.

That was a great expectation sr, congrats and thanks!! 🙏

Great video! Can you not put the rig higher on the rope and stand on the edge then lower backwards standing instead of sitting on the edge?

Very nice, thank you. A question; does the Asap not need 19 ft from the ground when fully deployed? If so, then would the tech not hit the ground before it arrested the fall. I only ask because, at one of the training centers, they only used a Duck unless you were more than 20 feet above the object, machine, or obstacle below. Just wondering. Thank you, Jim H.
