Rescue 2: Rescue from the top

This class is aimed at climbers looking to gain introductory rescue skills in an outdoor scenario. This class focuses on top-managed scenarios where the belayer is belaying from above. This can be a single pitch or a multi-pitch scenario.

We will cover rescue skills like Vector Pulls, mechanical advantage systems like the 3:1 and 3:1 Assist, & how to gauge when each system is appropriate, and belaying from above on a manual breaking belay device (ATC) and assisted braking belay device (Grigri). We will cover how one can do these skills with the common climbing gear they may have on their harness on a typical outdoor climbing day.
