Thanks to CrossFit NorWest for WODSituation:
Three days ago a group of 4 climbers began a week long camping,climbing and cannoyning trip in the Blue Mountains. While climbing yesterday on a multi-pitch wall, a rock slide stranded two of the climbers midway up the wall at about 50 meters and swept another off the rock entirely. The fourth climber ran to get help.
When the rock slide occurred, the climber that fell was able to slow herself down enough to minimize the impact and scrambled to an overhang at the base of the climb where she should have been shielded from the mountain of falling rocks that has her trapped.
Objective:
Drive to the trail head and hike in to the location where the climbers are stranded. Uncover the climber under the rocks and then ascend to the stranded climbers on the rock wall. Set a strong anchor point and assist climbers in repelling to safety.
Provide medical treatment as needed.
Timeline:
An aggressive weather front is rapidly moving in, preceded by a lightning storm. Obviously, it is important to work quickly. The best guess for the when the storm front will hit the area is 2 hours from now, and the drive to the trail head will take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
FMP WORKOUT
I - Run the Trail
Run 2km
II - Uncover Trapped Climber
5 Rounds of:
21 Deadlifts
15 Hang Squat Cleans
9 Push Press
*Light = 30kg / Medium = 40kg / Heavy = 60kg
Use the same weight for all lifts
III - Rescue Stranded Climbers
5 rounds of CINDY
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
IV - Carry Injured to Ambulance
Carry 20kg (anything will do) 2km.
Timeline:
The imminent storm front is expected to be hitting the area in 45 minutes from the time of arrival at the trail head. It is therefore important to have the stranded climbers off the face of the rock and be moving back to safety by then.
Begin clock at the beginning of Phase I. Success is beginning phase IV before 45min and getting climbers to ambulance in under 1hr 15min.
