DEPOSIT | FULL AMOUNT 1 Day £110, 2 days £200

As you progress with your rock climbing it is important to learn what to do if problems or accidents occur. A rescue course, also known as improvised rescue because you use the equipment you have with you, are important skills to learn as you venture into more remote and committing climbing. It is a great course to do with your regular climbing partner.

Held in the Peak District, this course covers how to solve simple problems effectively and efficiently which can arise when out climbing and introduce some principles of solving problems. It progresses to more complex problems and on day 2 some of the most complex and serious situations a climber could find themselves in.

On the first day of this course we will cover:

  • The principles of problem solving

  • Simple problems with simple solutions

  • Tying off a belay plate

  • Escaping the system

  • Hoisting a second (my most used rescue!)

  • Problems and solutions for abseiling

Building on the foundations of the first day, the second day of this course you will progress onto:

  • Descending and ascending a rope to reach a second

  • Lowering past a knot

  • Getting a unconscious casualty off a crag

  • Sea cliffs and multipitch environments

  • This course is for those people how have experience trad climbing.

    To get the most out of this course you should be able to build a belay from trad gear and belay for the top of a crag.

  • Ropes and gear as well as emergency gear is provided.

    It is beast if you bring your own climbing equipment such as helmet, harness and belay plate, prussics etc so that you get used to your own kit, but this can be provide if required.

  • Terms and Conditions can be found https://www.roammountains.co.uk/terms-conditions

    If the weather conditions are too bad to provide a good learning environment to get the best out of the course we may relocate to one of the Sheffield climbing walls. This would mean the added cost of entry to use the facilities.
