Description

Rock Rescue:

Could you deal with the technical aspects of
rescuing your climbing partner on a multi-pitch
rock
or alpine climb?

Say they fell when leading a
traverse and are now hanging on the end of the
rope and not responding to your shouts?

How
about something a bit simpler, you just need to
raise your buddy that slipped pulling a roof
and can’t get back on the climb?

Despite good
intentions there are always things that can go
wrong when on the wall or in the alpine and
there’s
nothing worse than that sense of helplessness
you get when you don’t know what to do or how
to
help.

Our Rock Rescue clinic is designed to give you
the tools to help yourself and/or your climbing
partner if something goes wrong in the vertical
world.

A must-have course for any active rock
climber or alpine climber that will allow you
to tackle climbs in a safe, secure and be
self-sufficient manner.

Some of the specific skills you will learn
include:

• Escaping the belay system
• Lowering a fallen climber
• Raising a fallen climber
• Tandem rappel
• Counterbalance rappel
• Ascending a rope
