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 .
