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 - Saturday Morning
1.30pm to 5pm - Sunday Afternoon
9am to 12.30pm - Monday Morning
