Having self-rescue skills is essential for when a multi-pitch climb doesn’t go as you planned it. These skills make the difference between a minor misadventure and an emergency in many cases, such as that of a partner getting injured or the terrain being too difficult.

*   Rope ascension
    
*   Hauling systems
    
*   Mastering ATC guide or Reverso
    
*   Load transfers- passing a knot, belay escape, etc.
    
*   Rappels (rappeling safely and what to do if things go wrong)
    
*   And more
    

The level of this clinic is intermediate/advanced. To participate you must have sport or trad multi-pitch experience. You must also be able to make an equalized anchor, set up a rappel, and belay from above.

**Book now for two days of enlightening instruction with a professional climber, and know that you’re prepared for the unexpected every time you go climbing.**
