Partner and Self Rescue

No climber should be without the knowledge and ability to handle an emergency using only personal climbing gear. This course is about awareness and prevention as much as it is about reaction to a problem. Instruction is available at all skill levels and may include rappel and belay problem-solving, belay escapes, ascending, medical concerns, lead climber and second rescues from multi-pitch routes, raisings and counterbalance systems. You may register for one or two days.
