An in-depth rock climbing self rescue course taught by CAG owner/director and IFMGA/UIAGM internationally certified and AMGA certified rock guide Dave Miller. Dave 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 climbs.
Instruction inlcudes:
- Escaping the belay & transfering the load
- Raises with mechanical advantage and lowers
- Ascending the rope
- Multi-pitch Rapel techniques with an inujured partner
- Basic first aid concerns
We begin with a quick review of all the knots, anchor building and
protection placement. We then move on to teaching all the components of self-rescue. If you master everything taught in this course, you should be able to handle just about any emergency situation.
We put it all together at the end of the course in a scenario on the rock that includes everything you've learned.
