Would it be possible instead of using the carabineer with the HMS-knot, to use a pulley on the carabiner and have a belaying tool like bucket or a Grigri ? Also would similar way be good to use to help a climber get up a difficult bit ?
Dynamic, use thinner one (they have 8mm, but I personally use 8.7mm for better friction with some ATCs) and 30m long (or longer if you are willing to carry it).
Very good instruction-video. The HMS-knot is usefull for a lot of different alpine sports.
Keep it going...👍
Great video, thank you so much for the detailed rescue operation, spot on! Buona montagna!

Why isnt a GriGri used to lower him? Couldnt it be dangerous? What if i want to rescue a person much heavier?
what kind of rope are you using? dynamic or static and which diameter?

climbing rope, dynamic or static does not matter as you only lower and not fall.
The thickness looks like 6mm, plenty enough for rescue operation.
