Rock rescue and safety training
For all rock enthusiasts from beginners to experts
Everything you always wanted to know about safety and rescue techniques on the rock. Because you usually train climbing technique and never what you need in an emergency. For example, if the second person on the rope has fallen and can't get any further, if you have to abseil into unknown terrain or "just" at an improvised belay station.
Once you have understood the basics of mountain rescue, you will know how to help yourself in most situations. And you will then be able to apply these basics in many areas of rock climbing with pleasure and time savings.
During rescue and safety training, you will be trained by a qualified expert who is up to date with the latest technology and will teach you the specific techniques used by mountain guides and mountain rescue services.
