Rope management course (Flying fox)

66

On which date I have forgotten (dont have my log book with me now), 7 of us have attended Flying Fox course by Abg Yen, at Wira Damai. Lucky for us, not too many participants, we got better concentration. The most important in the course is Abg Yen’s technique to install flying fox, with the main features are simple, safe and fast.

Abg Yen have named the system as Yen’s System, where the system is easy to install, and easy to put off alltogether. Just need more time to coil up the rope la

For me, it is a nice course, that we learned a lot from Abg Yen. Just on tightening system, we were only tought on Z & W pulley system. Z & W pulley system are actually giving the same force effect on the rope we are going to tighten up. One enhancement that we can make is using Double Mariner Pulley System, that can be found in Petzl catalogue book.

Thanks to Abg Yen for the excellent course. Hope to see you again in another course, with the same fee
