Getting out of trouble in the vertical world can be intimidating, but we’re here to help you build the skillset to handle adverse situations in the mountains. Our rock rescue weekend retreat is a perfect opportunity to work on more advanced rope skills under the supervision of guides and clean up the clutter. We will cover advanced knots and hitches, transferring the load, lowering skills, rappelling skills for the rescuer, rope ascension, escaping the belay, hauling systems and rescue communications.

We do ask that participants in this course have a resume involving outdoor climbing, especially some base level multi-pitch routes.
