One Day Rescue Skills for Climbers

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.

This course builds from covering 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 more serious situations.

The course covers the following:

  • 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

It progress to the following

  • 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
