Comfortable multi-pitch climbing ability is strongly recommended. You should be confident with rope management, anchor building, and rappelling. The clinic builds on these skills to teach emergency rescue techniques.

Core skills: escaping the belay, ascending a rope (prusik and mechanical), load transfer techniques, hauling systems (3:1 and 5:1), lowering systems, and full multi-pitch rescue scenarios. These are critical emergency skills for any climber venturing onto multi-pitch routes.

The Self-Rescue Clinic is a 2-day intensive course. Day 1 focuses on individual techniques (ascending, escaping the belay). Day 2 covers partner rescue scenarios and full simulations. This thorough approach ensures genuine competence.

Rock-About's AMGA-certified instructors with extensive multi-pitch and rescue experience. Our guides have real-world rescue experience and teach techniques aligned with AMGA standards—the gold standard in the climbing industry.

Essential for anyone climbing multi-pitch routes. Self-rescue skills allow you to handle emergencies—an injured partner, a stuck rope, or an anchor failure—when professional rescue may be hours away. Every multi-pitch climber should have these skills.
