I recently saw someone refer to the "Oberndorf Lift" as a rescue technique in vertical caving. This is a new one on me and Google only turns up results for ski lifts. Can anyone enlighten me?

It'll be in Alpine Caving Techniques (or other manuals).

Essentially it's a second haul line (set up 2:1), rigged to the the main haul line. Requires a jammer/Prusik and a progress capture device and about 5-6 metres of rope. Pull then reset.
