Learn the simple, smart rescue techniques every climber should know—because real emergencies don't wait for pros to show up.

REAL LIFE RESCUE

Adventure’s full of surprises—some are epic, some... not so much. This clinic is all about learning the kind of rescue skills that regular climbers can actually use. No guide badge required, no pressure to be perfect.

Whether you're just getting into multi-pitch, or you’ve been out there a bunch and want to be more prepared, we’ll teach you practical tools for handling the unexpected—with the gear you already carry and the partner you climb with.

This clinic is hands-on, confidence building, and even a bit of fun! Knowing what to do when things go sideways? That’s real climbing power!

What you’ll learn:

  • Rescuing a leader fall.

  • Counterbalance lower and rappel.

  • Lowering from above.

  • Descending together.

  • Hauling short distances.

  • Decision making under stress.

  • When and how to call for help.

This course is perfect for:

  • Weekend warriors and casual craggers

  • Alpine dreamers looking to level up

  • Climbing partners who care about each other’s safety

  • Anyone who’s ever wondered: “What would I do if things went sideways?”

What to Expect

A full day(usually 8am-4pm) of hands-on practice in realistic scenarios. We’ll keep it approachable and repeatable—no jargon, no epic gear lists, just real solutions you can use with the great you already carry.
