Companion (team) rescue is what the partner or the group can do in case of accident, counting on immediate intervention through anyone’s tools. The advantage is that it can be immediate, and the time to find the buried person is a key element for survival. The conditions for an effective intervention are:
1. The avalanche beacon, shovel and probe carried by all members of the group. This safety system must be part of the equipment of any group member and not of the shared equipment.
2. The knowledge by all members of the group of the basic rules of searching, probing and digging and the habit of using them with the appropriate mindfulness As in its other fields of activity, Grivel is trying to bring here new and innovative ideas.
