Ice Diving

[Roger Southwick]

Question: The links to the pics don't show guide lines or safety lines like I was taught. How do they protent a speedy exit?

We used a permanently mounted guideline to get from the exit to the platform; in it shows up as a bright orange line.

Using a scooter while attached to safety lines is difficult and not very safe.  Everyone in our group used redundant gear (cave configuration) so we didn't need to have someone drag us out on a line if we had an emergency.
