ROCK CLIMBING SELF RESCUE COURSE OVERVIEW

An in-depth rock climbing self rescue course taught by AMGA certified rock guides who will teach you the world-standard in how to perform self-rescue on rock and get an injured partner off a multi-pitch rock climb. This is valuable knowledge for rock climbers who are venturing on to multi-pitch rock climbs.

Rock self rescue instruction includes:

  • Escaping the belay & transferring the load

  • Raises with mechanical advantage and lowers

  • Ascending the rope

  • Multi-pitch Rappel techniques with an injured partner

  • Basic first aid concerns

We begin with a quick review of all the knots, rock anchor building and protection placement. We then move on to teaching all the components of rock self-rescue. If you master everything taught in this rescue course, you should be able to handle just about any emergency situation you will find on a multi pitch rock climb.

We put it all together at the end of the course in a scenario on the rock that includes everything you've learned.
