Self-rescue
No matter how hard you prepare or how safe you are, not all accidents in climbing are avoidable. It is recommended that anyone doing a lot of outdoor climbing take this course. You will learn knot craft, escaping the belay, ascending methods, haul systems, rappelling methods, leader rescue, and counter weight rescues. This course requires a solid understanding of anchors. The student should be prepared for a long day of learning, discussion and practice. This course is great for climbing partners to take together.
