DiMM day 5

Today we did companion rescue and learned to escape a belay, switch between raising and lowering and create simple mechanical advantages. We also tried a counterbalance rappel.
Confusing looking! The orange and yellow line is prussiked to the working end on the main line (climbers rope) creating a 5:1 to raise the climber. The system is safe as the ATC is in autoblocking guide mode, making this a hands free system
