Ever wondered what happens if things don’t go as planned? (Not trying to wax philosophical here, we’re talking about you, a harness, a rope, some climbing slippers, a helmet, and that beautiful rock you’re climbing…) What if you’re climbing and the rope gets stuck? What if you’re belaying and your partner takes a leader falls and injures herself? What if he can’t lower himself? You need to know climber’s self-rescue theory and technique – plus how to use the gear you’re carrying – to face these situations with a relaxed and successful approach. Mistakes like this and then not knowing how to handle can lead to injury and even death. You’ll learn climber’s self-rescue tactics and strategies like: belay escape, ascending/descending, raising systems, lowering systems with a knot pass, and much more in this detailed one-day class. We offer climber’s self-rescue on private arrangement so bring your climbing partner and get the education this summer – soon!
