Spencer, the last climber in our practice scenario, can now carefully approach the lip of the crevasse and use his extra length of rope to lower a locking carabiner down to the fallen climber. He lowers the carabiner down on a loop made from the extra length of rope and has the fallen climber attach it, along with the rope, to his climbing harness. Notice how the end of the rope is tied off to Spencer's harness for now. This is just to keep it out of harm's way while Spencer and Matt set up the rest of the rescue system.
