This course is essential for
any serious climber. The key to safe climbing is
risk management. Understanding the risks associated
with the sport allow climbers to successfully prevent
major accidents. However, accidents do happen and
having the skills and knowledge in order to help
an injured climber is the ultimate risk prevention
technique. In this course, we will teach you the
essentials of self-rescue.
Techniques and skills discussed will include escaping
the belay, aiding a victim, lowering an injured
climber, raising an injured climber with a pulley
system, building safety and rescue anchors, rappelling
with an injured victim, minimum safety rescue equipment,
improvised techniques for carrying an injured victim
to safety, and more if time permits.
If your goal is to increase your knowledge of safety
systems and participate in rock climbing in the
