Self-rescue is a term we apply to a skill set that help climbers navigate challenging situations on the wall. Some examples could be hauling a climber past a small crux while belaying from above, helping an injured party descend, navigating a damaged rope or unsafe rock conditions discovered mid route. Our self-rescue course was designed to be an introduction to essential technical tools and skills needed to problem solve on the fly and conduct a self-rescue.
Topics include:
Risk Management, and Incident Prevention and Preparation
Equipment Selection and Use
Knots and Hitches for self rescue
Haul Systems
Belay Transfer and Escape
Descending and Ascending a rope
Hauling a climber from below and above
Passing a knot
Bailing from a climb
Scenario practice with qualified supervision
Students in this course should have a solid understanding of all of the topics covered in our Advanced Top Rope course. It is also recommended that students pursue a wilderness medicine course (topics not covered in this course).
We are happy to spend a few minutes on the phone discussing if this course is right for you.
