Grimpday is generally known as one of the best rope rescue competitions of the world. This is year I got full press access and was able to get close to the teams. Follow me along as I take you through all three days of competition and explain every detail of the 11 incredible challenges the international teams faced.

From the Grimpday website:
Grimpday is an international challenge that brings together search and rescue teams from around the world (firefighters, civil defense, military, and police). The event took place in Brussels, Walibi and Namur, Belgium, where teams competed against each other through exercises involving the unique elements related to search and rescue in hazardous environments. This event was created in 2006 by members of Namur’s regional fire department.
The general opinion is that Grimpday has become a reference in the world of rope rescue. The closing evening’s awards ceremony has never seen such enthusiasm, and event organizers are already busy coming up with new ideas for the next edition…

For the 11 challenges done by 24 teams I must have witnessed 24 different executions per challenge. Some not good enough, most were good and a few were outstanding solutions. As I have said before, there a multiple different methods as long as you understand the principles of a given task.
What a week!!
