Climber's Self Rescue Step 6

What would you do if you were several pitches off the ground and your partner took a serious leader fall and got hurt? Would you be prepared to handle the situation? These one-day workshops are for experienced climbers wanting to learn improvised self-rescue techniques with just the gear you normally take along on a climb.

You'll study the best anchoring methods, along with raising and lowering systems for a one-on-one situation. This is a must for all climbers!

Skills covered will include:

Belaying the leader with self rescue advantages
Arresting the fall, tieing off the fallen climber
Escaping the belay
Ascending to the fallen climber
Counter balance ascending with an injured climber
Counter balance rappelling with an injured climber
Tandem rappelling with an injured climber
3:1 and 5:1 raising systems
Lowering with a knot pass

Cost: $155
