Use the rope<br />
With the seconds using the rope along with energy absorbers<br />
limits the length of the fall and its potential consequences.<br />
It is strongly recommended to use the rope in the following<br />
situations:<br />
• difficult passages with elevated risk of falling<br />
• situations where the user risks hitting an obstacle before the<br />
fall is arrested by the energy absorber<br />
It is imperative to use the rope in the following situations:<br />
• progression with children or climbers weighing under 45 kg or<br />
over 100 kg<br />
• old or poorly installed equipment in place (cable overly taut or<br />
anchors more than 3 m apart)<br />
To use a rope, the party must get organized the same as<br />
for climbing, with a leader having the knowledge to manage<br />
the belay of the seconds. Belaying while moving is an option<br />
reserved for less steep and/or easier sections. Belaying from<br />
intermediate anchors is recommended for all delicate sections.<br />
SCORPIO<br />
It is essential to have an appropriate lanyard for via ferrata capable of<br />
absorbing energy. The SCORPIO lanyard is easy to use. Its two retractable<br />
arms make it easier to keep equipment clearly organized and minimize<br />
tangling while keeping carabiners accessible. The third arm is practical for<br />
tying into bars and resting. The SCORPIO lanyard absorbs the energy of a<br />
fall by tearing its specially designed webbing. This webbing is protected by a<br />
zippered pouch. Have a SPIRIT-type carabiner ready for the third arm.<br />
