Mistakes can have serious consequences, and <strong>human factors<\/strong> play a central role.<br \/>Patrollers need to be able to make sound, informed decisions, and manage their effort and mindset over time. Progressing for 57.5 km in the cold is only possible if you avoid burning through your energy reserves too quickly.<\/p><p>Karine breaks down the legendary Zermatt\u2013Verbier route: \u201c<em>The hardest part of the Zermatt\u2013Verbier format is that you move at night: you start at 1,600 m and reach 3,600 m on the first climb. It can be extremely cold. It\u2019s very demanding on the body and the mind.\u2028By the time you reach mid\u2011course and your support team, you\u2019ve already used a lot of resources and you still have half the distance and half the elevation to go, this time in daylight.\u2028You spend more than half the race above 3,000 m. It\u2019s really tough!<\/em>\u201d <br \/>Hence the need to remain lucid throughout the route to safely bring the patrol to the finish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6528d58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6528d58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Team dynamics: the core of every patrol<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b9c0cb elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b9c0cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To succeed, each patrol must thoroughly rehearse its routines during preparation. It also needs to designate a clear leader, and learn how to defuse potential tensions between members. Not everyone has the same pace or comfort level in ski mountaineering. One major objective of preparation is to harmonise the team and build a solid shared rhythm. This is what Karine calls the \u201cspirit of the rope team\u201d.<\/p><p>Communication is one of the keys to success for her: \u201c<em>Knowing yourself well, knowing your limits, realising when you\u2019re not doing things right and daring to say it to the others, that\u2019s essential. Not communicating will only make things worse and can lead to giving up. You also have to regularly ask the others if everything is OK.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>The 2018 Ironman Zurich age\u2011group winner also warns patrollers: \u201c<em>At night, 8 metres apart, it\u2019s not always easy to communicate. In the first part of the race, we\u2019re roped for a good portion of the time.
