Synopsis
High angle rescue involves the retrieval of victims, often from precarious locations. Rescuers typically face situations ranging from rugged or mountainous terrain and tight spaces to urban and rural fire grounds. To function effectively and to provide quality patient care in these settings, rescuers rely on ropes, rigging and other technical equipment.
High Angle Rescue Techniquesis a basic and general text designed for use in rope rescue instruction classes. It contains skills instructions for both personal high angle rope skills and team rope rescue skills. The first half of the book is dedicated to developing personal skills necessary for the high angle environment. The second half of the book defines what rope rescue is and how it is used by various disciplines like law enforcement and fire service, and details some of the standard skills used in rope rescue.The strength of High Angle Rescue Techniques is that it provides, in a step-by-step process, the skills for personal and team rope work. This is the only text that actually teaches the student.

Review
..".High Angle Rescue is unquestionably the best Rope Rescue reference available today. The content is US orientated and can therefore be slightly at odds with countries elsewhere but the authors have referenced just about every difference even if they haven't covered it in detail so there's no excuse for confusion. We can't recommend this book enough - If your agency will only purchase one rope rescue book make sure it's this one!" - TECHNICAL RESCUE, Issue 43.
