Essential Self-Rescue Skills
This is a two-day course covering tips, tricks and practising rescue scenarios that anyone could come across in the outdoors. These essential skills you should know to become a safe outdoor climber, and the tool-box of skills you can draw from to enhance your everyday climbing experience will be valuable as well!
Basic Rescue Skills all climbers should know
Would you know what to do if something out-of-the-ordinary happened while you and a partner were out rock climbing? Are you sure? This course lays the foundations for self rescue in some of the most common situations rock climbers find themselves in. A full 2-day course will give you a set of skills you can use regularly – not just in the odd “emergency” situation, but often to make your normal climbing day a little more comfortable as well. Make no mistake – all outdoor climbers of all levels should know and have spent dedicated time practicing these skills.
I am often told that the “Essential Rescue” weekend is among the most fun and informative weekends that many of my participants have done. I hope you will agree!
Aaron took great care to ensure our safety at all times, thoroughly explaining the purpose of every piece of personal protective equipment and making sure we were properly geared up. His focus on safety and adherence to best practices gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy the adventure.
He encouraged and motivated us constantly, creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere. There was never any rush; Aaron was patient and let us take our time to adjust to the experience, always checking in to see that we felt comfortable and confident.
Thanks to Aaron’s professionalism and passion, we had an unforgettable day and felt empowered to push our limits. Great job Aaron — we can’t wait to join you for another adventure soon!
As much as I was nervous doing the abseiling I’m glad I did. Exciting and a nice feeling of accomplishment.
Aaron helped us all feel more confident to take on this challenge because of his calm, patient and skilled guidance. Thanks so much!!
