Course Content: The 2nd part of the Rock
Rescue offering; the Advanced Rock Rescue is
one-day course to provide more complicated
concepts pertaining to improvised rock rescue
techniques so you can deal with simple cliff-
side emergencies.
Techniques to be covered include a quick review
of escaping the belay, lowering and raising
systems and tandem rappels then move onto more
complex systems like knot passes, added
advantage raising system and rope ascension.
There will also be scenarios to apply the new
skills.
Prerequisites: Participants must have taken
Sean’s
Intro to Rock Rescue course in the past year
(there is one posted for May 15th). If a
participant has not taken his intro course
recently but has a comprehensive understanding
of tying off their belay device, escaping the
belay and various knots like tied-off munter,
munter mule and prussic then exceptions can be
considered on a case-by-case basis.

| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Harness, helmet, belay device (auto-blocking
like
ATC-Guide or Reverso is recommended), 4-5
locking
carabiners (at least one being a Munter shape),
4
non-locking carabiners, 1 double-length
shoulder
sling, 2 7mmx5m Prussic cords, 1 7mmx1.5m
prussic
cord and a lunch/drink

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Cancellation Policy: Courses are offered at a
discounted rate based on a 1:6 ration of
instructor to student (40% discount from
standard
rates). Due to the popularity of these clinics,
full payment must be received to book your
spot.
There will be no refund for cancellations.
Courses
will run regardless of weather unless the guide
deems conditions unsafe then either a back-up
option will be executed (i.e. rock rescue in
the
climbing gym if torrential rain) or an
appropriate
date will be rescheduled. This is to be decided
by
the guide the evening before.
*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
