WHY TAKE OUR WORKSHOPS?

We are about sharing information, teaching skills and growing the community safely. Some people like an activity to be lead or guided, we offer that too. But these workshops are about empowering the climber with knowledge. We teach the skills you need to get out there and climb harder, and improve safety for yourself and others around you. Our workshops are structured in a way that the information is compounding, constantly building on what you just learned, or learned in a previous workshop. We understand that you are thirsty for knowledge and we will give you everything we have to quench your thirst.

WHAT WE DO DIFFERENT

This program applies the concepts and skills you’ve trained on in the Tier 1 and Tier 2 rescue workshops, and provides multiple scenarios for application. We will work multi-person weighted rescue scenarios in vertical terrain, leader rescue scenarios, as well as traversing rescue scenarios.

You will think your way out of complex problems and learn the skills needed to work through unforeseen circumstances and a multitude of scenarios.

We will teach you techniques that the pros use, helping you launch beyond those that have been trying to self-teach themselves for years and still do it wrong. We teach this in a fun environment that allows you to learn and practice transitional skills without the stress of being hundreds of feet off the ground.

Precise thoughts, organization and efficiency are essential when performing a rescue, and life is on the line, we will help you achieve that.

PRE-REQUISITES

This is an advanced (Tier 3) level workshop which requires that you've already taken the following workshops:

In addition to the above pre-requisite workshops, we hope that you will have spent some time climbing outside and practicing the skills you've learned in those workshops.

Students should have the ability to safely belay with a plate, tube or assisted braking device.
Students should be able to confidently climb at a grade of 5.6 outdoors (5.9 indoors).

Our only other requirement is that you come prepared to THINK.
