Synopsis

Rapid Descent Prep offers crucial insights into preparing for controlled rapid descents in emergency scenarios, particularly in steep or remote terrains. It emphasizes the importance of proper rope systems, brake backups, and anchor redundancies, highlighting that even a single point of failure can have dire consequences. The book draws upon established best practices from mountaineering, search and rescue, and industrial rope access, synthesizing knowledge from engineering, physics, and human factors.

 
The book uniquely prioritizes a systematic approach to preparation, covering equipment inspection, rope dynamics, and anchor construction. It progresses from fundamental rope system principles like rope selection and knot tying to advanced techniques such as controlled descent and emergency problem-solving. A key takeaway is the emphasis on redundancy, treating fail-safes as essential rather than optional.

 
Case studies and practical exercises are included, making Rapid Descent Prep a valuable resource for rescue teams and experienced climbers alike. The information presented is based on field research, accident reports, and expert opinions, providing a balanced perspective on different techniques and viewpoints.

    Isabella Lucy Bird was a 19th century English traveller, writer, and natural historian. She was a sickly child, however, while she was travelling she was almost always healthy. Her first trip, in 1854, took her to America, visiting relatives. Her first book, The Englishwoman in America was published anonymously two years later.Unbeaten Tracks in Japan is compiled of the letters she sent to her sister during her 7 months sojourn in Japan in 1878. Her travels there took her from Edo (now called Tokyo) through the interior - where she was often the first foreigner the locals had met - to Niigata, and from there to Aomori. There she crossed over to Yezo (Hokkaido), and her account on the life of the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, provides an interesting glimpse of days long past. (Summary by Availle)
