Self Rescue (2 Day) Course

A must have for ever climber! This two day course will teach climbers how to handle emergency situations while climbing, using your own personal climbing gear. In this course we make you aware of potential problems while climbing, identify ways to prevent them from happening and walk through how to solve the problem calmly and efficiently. Self-rescue requires the very highest of technical skills. The first day we practice skills while close to the ground. On the second day we practice those skills again and create rescue scenarios on the cliff. This type of information demands repetition in order to fully understand. By the end of this course you will have a better understanding of how to identify problems before they occur and work to deal with problems more efficiently and professionally as they arise.
