Learn the basic skills of what to do when things are not going to plan.
This course offers participants the opportunity to learn the techniques needed in case things go wrong whilst rock climbing on a single pitch crag. This course can be combined with the 1 day advanced self rescue course as a progression for a 2 day course.
This ClimbOut course is for independent outdoor climbers who want to take their climbing skills further. You should be a competent climber and belayer. You will learn to tie off a belay plate properly, ascend a rope and abseil using a prusik for back-up and look at hoists if time allows. It is ideal for people who want to learn what to do in an emergency or with a stuck climber.
