Pike 'n Pivot technique

This is a re-publication of a previous post on Pike 'n Pivot technique. There was a video issue on the old post.

Pike 'n Pivot is a technique developed by Rigging for Rescue in the mid 1990's as a method for negotiating a 90 degree edge transition with no high directional.  The technique greatly reduces the effort needed to execute a difficult edge transition using more traditional methods.

The footage below shows a Pike 'n Pivot edge transition during an open-enrollment seminar in Ouray.
