Multi-Pitch Leader Rescue Clinic - SOLD OUT
overview
Could you self rescue from several hundred feet above the ground? If you climb outside on a regular basis, it is only a matter of time before you witness or are involved in a climbing accident. Having the tools to react quickly to high-stress situations can make a huge difference in the lives and health of you and your partners, both physically and mentally. During this clinic, we will practice some of the fundamental techniques required to self-rescue an incapacitated partner from over one-pitch off the ground.
