Join SheJumps and Alpine Ascents International for a day of Rock Rescue! What would you do if you were several pitches up a climb and the lead climber was injured by rockfall? Despite our best intentions, accidents do happen in the mountains and self-sufficiency is critical when professional rescue may be hours if not days away in more remote terrain. Our 1-day Rock Rescue course is essential training for any rock/alpine climber who doesn’t want to leave their fate up to chance in the event of an emergency. This course is designed to give you the essential baseline rescue skills and techniques every climber should master before ever entering into committing climbing terrain.

Take this on its own or tack it on to the 2 day multipitch course for a full weekend of learning!
