In a hauling system, which term is typically announced when the progress capture device engages?

• A. Set
• B. Stop
• C. Slack
• D. Haul slow

Answer: (A)

In a hauling system, the progress capture device is designed to grab the rope and prevent it from slipping as you haul. When it engages, the correct verbal cue is to call out that it has set. This communicates clearly that the device has locked in and is holding the load, so teammates know the system is secured and that they can continue hauling with confidence and control. Other terms like stop, slack, or haul slow don’t specifically signal that the device has engaged and locked in the rope.
