The use of a device to elevate a rope system is becoming more frequent as technology evolves and techniques change. You may have heard them called High Directional Anchor’s, Portable High Directional or Artificial High Directional (AHD). Regardless what you may call them, they are designed to elevate rope lines above edges, obstructions, railing, walls etc., and are used in rescue operations and rope access work. There are several systems on the market today but the two commonly used in technical rope rescue are the Arizona Vortex and Terradaptor. Both systems have their differences, and each is unique but in the grand scheme of things, they both achieve the same goal, “elevate the system.” This Introductory program will present information on AHD’s, uses, capabilities, limitations, accessories, and more. Students in this program will be able see, touch, set up and break down both the Arizona Vortex and Terradaptor. This program has no prerequisites and is open to all.
