Self rescue techniques

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.

The tour was superbly organized and the location was perfectly suited to the high temperatures. It was fun and we learned a lot.

My family and I (including 12 and 15 year old girls) really loved our Climbing and via Ferrata experience with Pablo at Valencia Climb. We felt very safe, logistics and communication were incredible. We enjoyed all of it but I think the via Ferrata at Falconera was completely unforgettable with zip lines, mountain swings , traverses and rope bridges and was the highlight of our entire trip in the area . We would highly recommend.

Pablo and Valencia Climb are both excellent! The communication was great from the start. He was able to accommodate a ride for a fair amount, from Valencia, an hour to Montajos.
On the 4 pitch climb, Pablo’s energy was steady and positive. His instruction was spot on and gave me confidence to lead 2 pitches!
Highly recommend him, and the memories/photos he took were Epic!! Thank you Pablo, I hope very much to climb with you again!
