Guided Trips to the Sierra Nevada & Worldwide!
Class is in session!

Self Rescue
You're five pitches up and unexpected thunderclouds roll in, or worse yet your partner gets injured. Have you ever wondered what you'd do in these situations? Our self-rescue course will teach you techniques to deal quickly and safely with many situations. We'll cover ways to escape the belay, ascend or descend a fixed line, methods for raising or lowering an injured partner, and ways to rappel tandem (two people on one ATC).
