Rescuing the Leader - Advanced
Are you leading, or thinking of leading technical climbing trips for the Club? Being able to effectively rescue your climbing partner in a bad situation is a key skill that we hope to never use, but need to be dialled in. Advance your level of training on this course and receive mentorship from renowned Rescue Professional and Mountain Guide Cyril Shokoples.
This weekend will focus on advanced rescue skills from a multi- pitch perspective with a focus on rescuing a fallen leader who may be above you and beyond a half rope length out on the rope. Participants will need to have previously taken a rope rescue course or have similar experience. Rope handling skills should be dialed before attending.
Prerequsites
Have taken Rope Rescue 101 (ACC Calgary) or equivalent and have good fitness.
This course is arranged through Rescue Dynamics and is taught by Cyril Shokoples. He is an internationally certified mountain guide, International Technical Rescue Association Instructor, owner of Rescue Dynamics and Past President of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides. Cyril has received the Distinguished Service Award from both the ACC and the ACMG. In 2013, Cyril was inducted as an honorary member of the ACC. He has taught the ACC's North Face National Leadership Courses for over 20 years and has a long history of instruction with the Calgary Section.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Cancellation Policy: Once accepted on the
course, full payment will secure one's spot on
the course. Refunds will only be provided if
the participant can find a replacement before
the course.
*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.
