Description:

Practice, practice, practice. The different variations of finicky pulley systems (for pulling people out of crevasses in emergencies) can be hard to remember, so let's combine forces to try them out in the city where it's warm. If you've never learned them, that's ok. If you know them already, great! That way you can teach the rest of us. 

Let's meet at the playground of Lord Tennyson Elementary (at 10th and Cypress). I'll bring a static rope, a few pulleys and biners and prussiks, and one or two harnesses. If you have any of these things, bring them too
