Self Rescue Concepts

Prepare for the unexpected

An important training for those aspiring to climb routes in remote areas and multi-pitch climbs. Or simply for climbers who want to minimize risk and be prepared to respond in case of injuries or technical problems.

You will learn the basic self-rescue techniques, using minimal climbing gear. These techniques include escaping the belay, creating mechanical advantages (3:1, 5:1), rope ascension, etc. You will then practice a few variants of the following scenarios :

• Rescue of the lead climber
• Rescue of the second climber

Each scenario includes several variables that will influence your decision-making.

The decision-making process during rescues, risk management in general, and emergency response plans will be covered throughout the week-end.

A comprehensive course for climbers who want to undertake adventures responsibly and take charge of risk management.
