Multi Pitch Rope Rescue
Multi Pitch Rope Rescue is a course that presents some common scenarios for when things go awry while climbing and solutions to them for a safe time. We all want to return safely from our adventures, so start with a rope course on how to manage some difficult situations at height.
We will discuss less than desirable scenarios and learn essential rescue skills when at height. This class will consist of one full eight hour day at the Seattle Mountaineers or out at a local crag.
*This course does not cover multi pitching techniques, anchors, or rappelling in depth (which is needed for the course). Consider taking our Intro to Multi Pitch Climbing and/or Anchors, Cleaning, and Rappelling course first if you do not already have these skills.
