What you'll do
In this two-day course you will learn the basic self-rescue techniques that can save you from many emergencies during climbing sport or multi-pitch routes.
Many climbers are unaware of these techniques, essential when tackling a multi-pitch route and that can save us in many situations and avoid a rescue organized by external services.
Some of the maneuvers we will see are: fixing a rope (with two figure eights and a double figure eight), rope joining knots, doubtful anchor lowering, reviewing knots (cow hitch, clove hitch, dynamic, escaped dynamic, anti-return dynamic), belaying with an anti-return dynamic and unblocking by weighting to lower the partner, ascending on a taut rope, passing knots upwards and downwards, load transfer, setting up 3:1 systems, weighting to assist the partner and lowering a partner from a route with a guide mode reverso.
