1. HIGHLINE ALSO KNOWN AS TELPHER / TYROLEAN
A rope or rope pulled tight across a chasmor river to facilities the passage or removals patient or equipment back and forth or in one direction.

2. HIGHLINE ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS AND MOST DIFFICULT VERTICAL RESCUE
INVOKE THE USE OF ADVANCED RIGGINGS SKILLS
ARE ALMOST ALWAYS A LAST RESORT OPTION

3. HIGHLINES IN RESCUE
IN ALL CASES, THIS TERMS REFER TO A ROPE LINE SUSPENDED FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER BETWEEN WHICH PEOPLE, RESCUE SUBJECTS, OR EQUIPMENT CAN BE MOVED

4. HORIZONTEL HIGHLINES
SUSPENDED FRON TWO POINTS THAT ARE CLOSE TO THE SAME LEVEL

5. STEEP ANGLE HIGHLINES
SUSPENDED BETWEEN TWO POINTS IN WHICH ONE IS AT A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL THAN THE OTHER.

6. USES OF HIGHLINES
USED TO TRANSPORT RESCUERS, RESCUE OBJECTS, AND/OR EQUIOMENT ACROSS AN AREA THAT IS A BERRIER TO TESCUES.

7. 1. TO BYPASS AN OBSTACLE
USED TO CROSS A DEEP CANYON ORGORGE.
2. TO AVOID HAZARDOUS TERRAIN
WOULD BE USED TO BRIDGE A SWIFTLY.
FLOWING RIVER
3. TO AVOID DIFFICULT TERRAIN
MIGHT BE SUSPENDED OVER AN AREA THAT
CONTAINED LARGE BOULDERS OR THICK DEBRIS,
WOULD BE DIFFCULT TO MOVE A LITTER.
4. FOR EMERGENCY EVACUATION.
EVACUATE PERSONS FROM A HAZARD IN WHICH THEREIS THREAT OF
INJURY OR DEATH, AND WHERE THERE IS NO OTHER PRACTICAL MEANS OF
EVACUATION WOULD BE A FIRE IN A BUILDING.

8. ELEMENTS OF A HIGHLINE NEAR-SIDE ANCHOR FAR-SIDE ANCHOR
MAIN LINE / TRACK LINE
LOWERING / BELAYS LINE
TAG LINE
PULLEYS ( carriage )
REEVE LINE ( ENGLISH/NORWEGIAN )
LOAD

9. NEAR- SIDE ANCHOR
THE ANCHOR TO WHICH THE MAIN LINE IS INITIALLY ANCHORED.
IN HORIZONTAL HIGHLINE BOTH MAIN LINE ANCHORS WILL BE SUBJECTED TO SIMILAR STRESSES.
IN STEEP ANGLE THE UPPER ANCHOR WILL BE THE ONE MOST SUBJECTED TO STRESS.

10. FAR-SIDE ANCHOR
THE ANCHOR TO WHICH MAIN LINE ROPEIS ATTACHED ONCE ROPE HAS GOTTEN ACROSS TO THE FAR-SIDE POINT.
MUST BE STRONG AS NEAR-SIDE ANCHOR.

11. MAIN LINE / TRACK LINE ROPE
LINE THAT SUPPORTS THE MAJOR OF THE WEIGHT OF THE LOAD.
SHOULD BE OF A LOW-STRETCH DESIGN, SUCH AS STATIC KERNMANTLE.

12. LOWERING/BELAY LINE
RUNS FROM THE NEAR-SIDE POINT AND IS CONNECTED TO THE LOAD, IT SERVES 2 PERPOSES.
TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE LOAD THROUGH THE LOWERING DEVICE.
TO HAUL THE LOAD.
BECAUSE OF THE SAG THE LOWERING LINE WILL ACT MORE IN ITS FUNCTION OF A BELAY.

13. TAG LINE RUNS FROM THE FAR-SIDE POINT AND IS CONNECTED TO THE LOAD.
TO BELAY THE LOAD.
TO HAUL THE LOAD.

14. PULLEYS TRAVELS ALONG THE MAIN LINE ROPE. AS A CARIAGE.
WITH HIGHER LOADS TANDEM PULLEYS CREATE LESS OF A BEND IN THE ROPE.
SINGLE CARRIAGE/DOUBLE CARRIAGE.

15. REEVE LINE ENGLISH REEVE / NORWEGIAN REEVE.
ACT AS LOWERING AND HAULING LINE

16. ENGLISH REEVE

17. NORWEGION REEVE

18. HIGHLINE LOADS ONE-PERSON LOAD TWO- PERSON LOAD LITTER LOADS- SPIDERS
- AZTEK ( LITTER SCOOP )
- PERCELL
- LITTER TENDER ATTACHMENT
AZTEK / PIG TAIL (PRIMARY
ATTACHMENT / SECONDARY
ATTACHMENT
- ETRIER

19. PROBLEMS OF HIGHLINE OPTENTIAL STRESS AND FAIRLURE OF EQUIPMNENTS,
TIMEP CONSUMING.
GETTING INITIAL PERSONNEL AND ROPE ACROSS.

20. DEERMINING THE AMOUNT OF SAG IN THE HIGHLINE
A HIGHLINE SYSTEMS MST NEVER BE STRETCHED TIGHT AND THEN LOADED.
THIS COULD RESULT IN OVER STRESSING AND FAIRLURE OF THE ROPE, ORTHER EQUIPMENT, OR THE ANCHORS.

21. THE TEN PERCENT RULE
MEANS THAT FOR EVERY LOAD OF 100 POUNDS WITH 100 FEET OF SPAN IN THE ROPE THEN SHOULD BE A SAG OF TEN PERCENT.

22. EXAMPLE
1.200 POUND LOAD (1L) ON A 100 FOOT SPAN 1L x 100` x .10 = 10 % FOOT SAG REQUIRED POUND LOAD (1L) ON A 200 FOOT SPAN 1L x 200` x .10 = 20 % FOOT SAG REQUIRED POUND LOAD (2L) ON A 200FOOTSAPN 2L x 200` x .10 = 40 % FOOT SAG REQUIRED.
