Grangers Rescue Techniques
Supported by Grangers. Develop your ropework skills and gain confidence in your ability to become more independent and also to deal with and help a stranded or distressed climber.
This is a great clinic to help give an outdoor rock climber the confidence to become more independent at both a single or multi-pitch crag. We'll cover a number of common hazards, some simple techniques to help avoid them and how to heal with them if they were to happen. It all starts with the planning of a route, good leader placed trad gear and the choice of safe anchors and belay set-up as a platform to then help a second. That help could be tackling a difficult section of the climb or helping someone down if something goes wrong. You will have plenty of food for thought and loads to go away and practise!
Supported by Grangers, dedicated to protecting you, your gear and the environment, helping make adventures possible with British manufactured cleaning and waterproofing products
