Rock Rescue Course
The unexpected can happen quickly when in the mountains or on the rock. This course is designed to give you the skills to handle an emergency, and be an overall better climbing partner. We will dive into the skills needed to rescue an injured climber whether they are following the pitch of climbing or leading it.
This course dives much deeper than you just lower them to the ground. It is designed to give you a toolset that you can take into many other rescue applications in the mountains. The fundamentals learned in this course are the same fundamentals used in things such as crevasse rescue.
