Improvised Rescue for climbers

An injured or immobile climber suspended in a harness can have as little as 10 minutes before unconsciousness and death. This is often referred to as “Harness Induced Trauma” resulting in “Toxic Shock Syndrome”. Waiting for Mountain Rescue is sometimes not an option and is often too late. Any person who climbs more than 15 minutes away from help would benefit greatly from this course. Practice systems that enable self rescue or the ability to offer assistance to an injured climber. Hoisting, lowering, escaping the belay system, descending with a casualty are a few of the techniques you can learn. Learn it before you need it!
