PROJECT C.O.P.E
[ Index | About | Activities | Experiencing | Sponsors | Staff ]

One of Mountaineer Area Council's COPE Directors, Brian Schuller, works on an EAD (Easy ascension Device). The EAD was designed to allow for multiple clip points for various ascension devices (cargo net, rope ladder, giant's ladder, rope climb, rappel lines, etc.). The top two safety lines are crossed to allow two participants to use the same element without using the same safety cable. By crossing the cables the safety ropes do not rub against a lower cable as they would with two parallel cables.
