Really you used a biner as first pulley and a prusik to secure the load? Are you serious? 🤣 Better delete this video, this is less then a unsecure technique. 1. one prusik it's only half safety. 2. Use your pulleys where you expect the highest tension. 3. Use your ATC (it's on our harness) in guide mode to secure and haul the victim out of the crevasse.
It's not a device. It is a metal pin made by the US Geological Survey. A lot of prominent peaks in the US have their own "USGS" pin at the summit point. It was a large project by the US Government, and it's a pretty neat thing to find and take a photo of on your summits across the United States.
I've hiked and camped etc all my life but I could never understand why people do this. Then I watched this video and.... I still don't get it. Nice view though.

Amazing, a bucket list for me! Not trying to take anything away, but completely insane that Everest summit is actually +9000 feet higher than this peek, just puts in perspective the Himalayas compared to North American Rockies…
True but thats just how high they are above sea level. Denali is the tallest mountain measured from base to peak. Something like 5500 meters above the local terrain, while Everest is only like 4500 meters above its local terrain, the Himalaya plateau. Denali is one of the most impressive mountains for sheer size on the planet.
5:15 "I'm staying tight to the anchor" but then puts his harness prusik outside the system to use it to haul... but then he is not tight to the anchor and if he falls in another crevasse there will be slack between him and the anchor. Using your harness prusik to haul is smart but be aware that you are not very secure to the anchor in that case so make dang sure there's no other holes for you to fall in while hauling.
