Thanks to TT Instructor Capt. Dan Shaw for this illustration of how to use a halligan bar as an inpromtu anchor-point. Though primarily for emergency bailouts, its a good idea to keep in mind for whatever situation you may need it for.
Starting with the end of a rope having a Figure-8 on a bight, pass the loop of the bight between the blades of the fork. Bring the running end of the rope around the pick and then make a hitch around the shaft, above the know. THEN spike the halligan into the floor. With practice, this can be accomplished very quickly.
- You are in a emergency bail-out situation. What other techniques / options do you have for a fast anchor point?
- What are you carrying in your pockets that could help you get out of a bad situation?
- Webbing?
- Commercial bailout kit (Exo, etc?)
- Just rope?
