2 Day Self Rescue Course

Have you ever wondered "What if?" while climbing and then wished you hadn't asked the question? Do you know how to escape a belay? Rescue an injured leader? Do a tandem rappel? Haul your partner above a crux section he can't do? If you climb outdoors on a regular basis, you definitely should!! It's astonishing how many climbers don't know these vital safety techniques.

If you aren't familiar with lowering and hauling systems, passing knots, and specialized rappelling techniques, this course could be the most important training you ever receive. Our two-day self rescue course fills these gaps in your climbing skills, and is applicable to all types of roped climbing. On our two-day course you will practice the skills needed to rescue an injured leader or follower and bring them above a crux, to the top of the cliff, or to the ground.
