Trad Climbing
Advanced
Rescue Techniques
Develop your ropework skills and gain confidence in your ability to become more independent; learn skills required to support and help a stranded or distressed climber. This is a great clinic to equip the outdoor rock climber with the confidence to become more independent at both a single and a multi-pitch crags. We'll cover several common hazards and some simple techniques to help avoid them or how to manage incidents if they occur. It all starts with the planning of a route, good leader placed trad protection and the choice of safe anchors and a sound belay set-up as a platform to then help a second. Help could be supporting your partner in tackling a difficult section of the climb or helping someone down if things go wrong. You will have plenty of food for thought and loads to go away and practise!
