Multi-Pitch Rock Climbing Rescue Camp | Vantage, WA
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 and efficiently to these 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 learn and practice some of the fundamental techniques of multi-pitch rock rescue, preparing you to assist and descend with an injured climber in multi-pitch climbing terrain. Regardless of the grade that you climb, these are the skills you need to have before you set off on your next multi-pitch adventure.
