Notes:
As mentioned before, this is NOT a course. It is
simply a great
way to join with fellow ACC members to review rock
rescue
Basics. If you are interested in learning rock
rescue, I highly
recommend that you take a course thru a certified
ACMG
guide. If you are unsure if this event is for you
or if you have
any questions, please contact the trip coordinator
Please only sign up if you are sure to attend.
