Ever wondered what you would do if your partner gets injured on a multi-pitch route? What if your ropes get stuck while on rappel? What if your second can't pull past a crux, or is hanging in mid-air below a roof? Dropped your belay device from top of pitch 7 and now you have to rappel?

There are so many situations when things can go terribly wrong, yet rock-rescue is often overlooked. This Self-Rescue Clinic will instill the skills to help you and your partner deal with the unexpected during a climb. These are also the baseline rescue skills and techniques taught in AMGA and other guide training, which makes this a great primer in advance of coursework.

Skills and techniques taught include:

• Escaping the belay
• Raising a climber
• Lowering a climber from an auto-locking device
• Ascending a fixed rope
• 2:1, 3:1, 5:1, and 6:1 hauling systems
• Tandem rappels
• Pre-rigged rappels
• Friction hitches for multiple applications
• Improvised belaying
• Improvised chest harnesses
• Variety of other useful knots and hitches
