Itinerary:
This is Part 1 of a two part Rock rescue course. Rock Rescue 101: Join us for a day to learn or review self rescue techniques for the vertical world. Learn how to escape a belay as a second and as a leader, how to ascend a rope with various tools.

Put your new skills into practice with scenarios.. This course is for anyone who ever asked himself or herself…”what would I do if something happened right now?”

We highly recommend you take the second part, Rock Rescue 201, the next day as it takes these new skills and puts them into real life scenarios.

Cost : $135
