Mike Brown has been around rope rescue for many, many years with the Virginia Beach FD and later with Spec Rescue International and various Virginia state-level rescue teams.
This book goes deep into theory, beginning with the basics such as gravity and friction, and will be appreciated by the serious student of rope rescue.
Each chapter begins with objectives and ends with key terms and review questions.
Topics include equipment, anchors and rigging, rappelling, lowering and raising systems, personal escape systems, and high lines.
Excellent drawings illustrate the text.
