Instructors ready to begin self rescue session. I’m the one in the green poncho!
I’m in the red parka, “rescuing” Andy.
On Saturday, I attended a rock climbing self rescue class, hosted by members of the Rocky Mountain Rescue. A major benefit to teaching Basic Rock Climbing School with the Colorado Mountain Club is being able to attend this whole day practice session. Prior to teaching Basic Rock Climbing, I would have to pay a guide to take me out and review these skills. Now, I get to review the skills in the setting of other rock climbing instructors without having to pay a ton of money.
Thanks to the RMR rescue guys who volunteered their time to hold this session! Every year, I retain more and more of the techniques!
