1. Rescuer accessing the chair
Backup belay may be done from the tower. This allows for a mutual
verification of the system before the rescuer moves onto the cable.
The rescuer is suspended on the ROLLCAB, and the GRILLON
lanyard is slightly slack to allow descent along the cable.
Chairlift evacuation with rescuer on cable
Chairlift evacuation techniques can differ greatly between various
sites. Techniques are chosen based on the slope of the cable,
the ground clearance, the recovery zone, or other variables.
Training is required for a successful and timely execution of
this operation.

2. Evacuating the passenger
The rescuer descends on the GRILLON
lanyard to the chair. They install the PITAGOR
evacuation triangle on the passenger, then
evacuate them with an I’D EVAC descender.
