Before searching a cave, of course, we must have knowledge about caves, equipment for conducting searches and other equipment. For equipment to enter the cave, of course, you must have a tool in the form of an SRT (Single Rope Technique) set, only enter the vertical cave using this SRT tool.
In the stage of learning to use the SRT set, of course, we must first get to know these tools, such as harnesses that are used to bind the body and are attached to the waist and groin.
Croll or Chest Ascender is used to climb or climb a rope or track in the chest connected to the MR delat carbiner or MR oval. The hand ascender or better known as the jummar is used to climb the caramantel line or rope. Usually this jummar is only used for riding which is installed on the footloop and cow's tail
The descender is used to descend the caramantel rope, the descender is divided into several types, namely the capstand consisting of a simple stop and an auto stop. Whalestale, raple rack consists of close rack and open rack, and figure of eight.
Mailon rapid consists of Mailon Rapip (MR) which is an oval MR which is used to connect the chest harness with the Delta MR, while the Delta MR is a tool for linking two loop seat harnesses as well as a place to attach other equipment such as descenders, carabiners and cow's tail.
Foot loop that serves as a footrest when climbing. This foot loop is connected to the carabiner which is connected to the hand ascender. The cow's tail has two tails, the longer one being hooked up in the short, free ascender hand. Cow's tail is used as a safety when passing through the track.
Chest harnesses are used to attach the chest ascender to make it more attached to the chest, making it easier to move during normal ascending and other uses to support the upper body. This chest harness is made of webbing.
Carabiners screw, this tool is used to connect the SRT set such as connecting the hand ascender to the cow's tail and connecting the Delta MR to the descender, while the snap carabiners are used to secure the connection to the cow's tail. All of these SRT sets must be able to be used by someone who wants to do a cave exploration either with their eyes open or with their eyes closed.
Enough of my posts on this occasion.
