    SELF-RESCUE

    Whether you are a new or a very experienced climber, do you know what to do if things go wrong? For example what if your partner takes a leader fall several pitches up and gets injured, do you know what to do? This is a highly recommended safety, skill/technique/tools, and decision-making course for any level climber. If you are lead climbing, this really is a “I should take that course” type of thing!  You may find yourself in a situation necessitating knowledge of self-rescue techniques.

    There are techniques, strategies, and systems that will help you save your partner and yourself.
