Rescue Techniques
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, as well as some simple techniques to help avoid these hazards, as well as dealing with them if they were to happen. It all starts with the planning of a route, through to good leader placed trad. gear, to 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 goeies wrong. You will have plenty of food for thought and loads to go away and practise!
The clinic time is -
9am to 12.30pm - Sunday morning
We would all like this event to be as Covid Secure as possible.
Even though all the clinic's will be outdoors, can we kindly ask each person attending to complete a Covid test at least 72 hours before arriving.
Even with a negative result, if you do have any Covid related symptons then please don't come, and we'll welcome you back next year - Many thanks
