Patton knot aids Rainier descent by two climbers
Dr. Patton and R C Trengrove of Portland used the Patton Life Wing knot to descend Mount Rainier after a night sheltering from an electric storm. They were lauded as heroes by West coast climbers as they lowered and retrieved themselves from ice cliffs and avalanches. The knot locks under weight but can be released by a gentle shake, enabling controlled descents. The invention arose during Patton's time with the U S Geological Survey.
