What do you do if a leader falls and gets hurt? How do you get them to the ground if the rope isn't long enough to lower them? What if you are more than one pitch off the deck?These are tough questions to answer. But the Introduction to Rock Rescue program attempts to address these questions in a theoretical space, primarily in ground school. This is normally how entry level rescue programs are taught and refreshed.
Once a climber has finished with ground school, they can move onto application. This course goes through each of the skills in pre-application setting where there's reduced risk and students can look carefully at each individual component of a rescue.
The Introduction to Rock Rescue seminar is meant to supplement the material in the longer course, specifically the Technical Self Rescue for Climbers program. A climber may choose to take the Intro course before or after the longer course in order to help cement their skills.
This program is $95 if taken alone. Take this and the morning session on crevasse rescue for $170. Pre-registration is required.
