Ice Rescue
201 course is for anyone who has taken the RR 101

involve more complicated scenarios and deal with
how to extract you and your partner from a
multipitch scenario. Lowers in guide mode,
raises and
counterbalance / tandem rappels. What to do if
your rope is cut or damaged by ice or
axes/crampons. What to do if your belayer is
struck by falling ice.
Cost : $136.25
