What would you do if your climbing partner became stuck or injured? When help maybe hours away or not coming at all, your own skills to prevent and deal with situations will make all the difference. Like Outdoor first-aid, self rescue knowledge is essential for all climbers.
Who’s the course for:
This two day course is for climbers who are competent at Trad Lead Climbing or Multi Pitch Sports Climbing. It is also suitable for MTA members, RCI trainees and fully qualified RCI instructors looking to develop their personal rope skills, especially if going on to the MCI award.
