Beaucoup trop théorique sur les 3 premiers épisodes ! J'espère qu'une méthode concrète va être proposée dans les prochains épisodes parce que jusque là ça donne envie de fuir sorry
Hold it,a person is buried 1-3 meter's deep, completely buried, there's NO WAY a person that's probing or shoveling is going to know where the person's head is until the person is dug up/out.
Hallo @FloNick ! Also üblicherweise sind alle Outdoor Active Karten mit Hangneigungslayer hinterlegbar, diese kannst Du entweder direkt über die App von Outdooractive erhalten oder über die Alpenvereinaktiv- App, bei letztere hast Du den Vorteil, dass Du auch weitere Karten wie die Alpenvereinskarten auswählen kannst, diese haben dann zwar keinen Hangneigungslayer, sind dafür aber umso präziser und genauer, um kleinräumige Geländeformen und -beschaffenheiten zu erkennbaren. Zusätzlich gibt es auf alpenvereinsaktiv.com mittlerweile auch die ATH-Maps, die zusätzliche Geländefaktor einbeziehen, die die Gefahr einer Lawinenauslösung beeinflussen. Dies bietet auch die App White-Risk. Alle genannten Anbieter bieten diese Zusatzfeatures nur kostenpflichtig an. Für die Schweiz gibt es ansonsten noch die Swisstopo App inklusive Hangneigungskarten, diese sind kostenfrei.
Woman in burgundy has her crampons on the wrong feet. You can see it throughout the video. Buckles always go on the outside of your stance to prevent snagging, which can and has killed people.
Hi @neutrinotank :) Thanks for watching our videos accurately. You´re absolutely right, crampons always should be worn with the buckles on the outside. Luckily on nearly all of the close shots on boots and crampons, it´s done the right way. But we will keep in mind to fix this as soon as we renew the videos. Till then folks: wear you´re crampons the right way! Avoid everything you can get tangled up with the frontpoints of your crampons as buckles, wide trousers etc.!
Hallo @antoniorizo335 , Das Alpengebiet Österreichs ist über die Alpenvereinskarten fast komplett abgedeckt, diese Karten gibt es alle digital und eignen sich am besten für bergsteigerische Aktivitäten. Man kann sie über Webseite oder App Alpenvereinaktiv.com benutzen, allerdings ist für die Nutzung ein kostenpflichtiges Abo (Pro+) nötig, um auch auf die Alpenvereinskarten zugreifen zu können. Die Kosten sind aber überschaubar. Auch das Bundesamt für Eich- und Vermessungswesen bietet digitale Karten Österreichs inklusive einer App an.
I can't forget that moment back in 2009 when our trainer was teaching us a v-thread. I asked whether it is safe? Next- he made us all 7 trainees to pull the rope that was connected to the sling passed through the v-thread and weren't able to undo it. That day I learnt about the strength of a good v-thread and using this ever since😊
Hi @sofiareimer1294 , Wir waren für die Safety Academy LAB SNOW Produktion überwiegend in den Tiroler Regionen Axam, Rofan, Ischgl & Fügen, aber auch in den Tauern und in der Dachstein Umgebung unterwegs. 😊
Hi Jens, die Formulierung ist tatsächlich etwas missverständlich: Fakt ist ab einer Geschwindigkeit von 40km/h findet Windverfrachtung auf jeden Fall statt und es kann sich auch ohne Neuschneefall Triebschnee bilden. Bei gleichzeitigen Neuschneefällen kann sich Triebschnee bereits bei deutlich geringeren Windgeschwindigkeiten bilden. Für unsere Praxis ist aber die Windgeschwindigkeit eh nur bedingt hilfreich, da diese im Gebirge je nach Gelände sehr unterschiedlich sein kann und eh nicht gemessen werden kann, hier ist das Erkennen und Beurteilen von Windzeichen und Bereichen mit Triebschnee deutlich wichtiger.
Hi there, The device you're referring to is an avalanche transceiver, which is an essential tool for mountain safety. It's used to locate people buried under the snow in avalanche situations. If you have any specific questions about how it works or its features, please feel free to ask, and we'd be happy to provide more information. 😊
Hi Daniele, First of all climbing alone should not be your regular way to climb as it involves much higher risks for your live and safety. If you do so, removing nuts probably might not be the most important thing to concern about…but anyway climbing alone either means your climbing free solo or you´re rope soloing. Free soloing - per definition - means you don´t protect yourself with a rope and any kind of anchors or protection. So no need to remove nuts anyway. If you´re ropesoloing, you first lead the pitch placing your pro, then you´re rappelling the pitch on the fixed rope and ascend it again. Either during rappelling or ascending again you easily can remove the nuts you placed while leading. Often nuts can be removed - unlike shown in the video - singlehanded, so you can still hold on to the rock with the other hand.
This bag looks amazing! the organizing system and the side zip are incredible for me! how many litters is the bag in the video? I'm looking for a bag for a single-pitch sport route, don't know if 24 is enough? or maybe 35 is better?
Hi David, we are very pleased that you like the backpack model so much. These are our TRAD backpacks. This model is available in different sizes, for example, you could take a look at the TRAD 35 or the TRAD 28: www.ortovox.com/de-en/shop/backpacks/c35502-climbing 😊
In English "fastening" or "attaching the belay device" is confusing. We call it "tying-off the belay device". It's also confusing in this video how and why you switch from a guide plate to a munter-hitch, as there is no explanation. Danke!
Hi Eros, I am answering in English, I hope that is fine with you! The video was a live stream, hence the sound quality is not the most optimal. However, there should not be any interruptions in the video and you should be able to listen to it throughout without any problems. Maybe you had problems with your internet connection. If you still have problems, feel free to contact us! Best, your ORTOVOX team
All these videos are incredible. The clear way it is presented helps me retain the information I learned during alpine courses. It's an excellent resource for my alpine related drills at home.
Dear George Austers! You always should be roped, whenever you’re entering a snow covered glacier. If you can not see the crevasses because of the snow, there always is a decent danger to fall into a crevasse. Crevasses can be quite deep (10 to 100m), so an unroped fall into a crevasse can cause your death or at least severe injuries. If you have been lucky and have survived unharmed, you´re still in a very bad position. You might be stuck 20m deep inside a crevasse, surrounded by vertical ice walls. Some superhuman might be able to climb these walls up without a rope and rescue themselves, but 99,9% are not. So hopefully you have a partner or some other mountaineers with an rope outside the crevasse, who can provide you rescue. Anyway falling into a crevasse without a rope is not an option! If you really want to know, what it takes to survive this, we highly recommend you Joe Simpson's famous book “Touching the void”. Stay healthy, stay safe, your ORTOVOX team
Your channel is most dedicated and informative I came out on RU-vid and I'm not understanding why you stopped uploading more videos. The last can be seen two years back.
Hi Netai, you can use pulleys for almost every rescue system when you need to redirect the rope or block the rope in one direction and be able to pull in the other. This - as mentioned - is almost always needed for the different rescue and hauling systems. The main advantages are the reduced friction and the much easier handling (compared to Prusik or Garda). Hope this help! Best, your ORTOVOX-Team
Hi Nick, the harnesses shown in the clip are all from the French brand Petzl. In this video we have used the “Altitude” (superlight harness for high alpine tours) and the “Sitta” (light harness also for sportclimbing). Hope this helps! Best, your ORTOVOX Team
