My Petzl rescue system is comprised of these two components:

I added a cow's tail, Petzl ascender (left), and some BlueWater foot loops. I have all manner of descenders.
The Vulcans are good for rigging because they're so big. And 40kN meets general use rescue specs, so you're fine. http://www.cmcrescue.com/nfpa/
You could put two people and a litter on those 'biners and not have to worry.
Good ratings, but not a lot of material.
The smallest rope I own is some 8.3mm Canyon Fire rope, rated at 4100 lbF or ~18kN. It's fast.
Here's that ascent technique I mentioned: http://www.climbing.com/skills/rappel-to-ascend/
It works. It is not particularly easy, however. The hardest maneuver is the action described as "pull the slack upward through the device." Number one, there's not that much slack, at least the way I was rigged, so you're creeping up the rope. Number two, getting it to slide through the descender requires some muscling. I did ascend and rappel down a couple of times though.

In on 2!
Yes... I said 2, you people with the weird page settings.... how 'bout them apples! I prefer Red Delicious, but Honeycrisp is pretty good too. Granny Smith is a little too tart for me to eat raw.
also reading that PDF shortly![]()
