Prior to the conduct of the lesson, the Instructor will have to rig up the Omega descend rope either with the assistance of the men attending the training or manpower from another source. b. The method of securing of the Omega descend rope from the Omega tower to the anchor point can be done by treading it thought the ring and tie a square knot. Lastly tread it round the holdfast. 5. ASCENDING/DESCENDING: LANDING TECHNIQUE The Instructor will do the explanation while the auxiliary instructor will demonstrate the Omega descend to the class. a. Ascending/Descending i. The soldier will climb up the tower using the caged ladder to reach the Omega platform. Once on the platform, he is to stand away from the edge of the platform with the dispatcher in between him and the edge. ii. iii. iv. After the dispatcher has checked the soldier s safety rope, he will hook up and lock the karibinar onto the Omega rope behind the soldier s head. The Omega bar will be hooked onto the Omega rope before the soldier moves forward to the edge of the platform. The soldier will hold the Omega bar with both hands and lower himself on one leg whilst extending the other forward outside of the platform. Once the soldier is ready, the dispatcher will tap his (soldiers) shoulder and commands "GO".
