The self-rescue course will be held on the 10th and 11th of November 2018.  There are still places left.  So if you are interested, please contact me ASAP.

In collaboration with Adventure Out, CAWA is pleased to offer an instructional two-day course designed to develop the technical skills, experience and confidence needed to safely perform self-rescue.

This course is ideal as a refresher or for those trying to increase their confidence climbing outdoors so they can take on those bigger bucket list adventures. Mountain Quarry offers a range of climbing challenges and serves as the ideal environment for learning self-rescue skills.  The instructors will provide participants with constant feedback and ensure appropriate safety standards are maintained throughout the course.

 Skill points will include:

1. self-rescue (ascending and switching rope systems, anchoring methods, escaping compromised belay systems)
2. partner rescue (conscious & unconscious)

 Prerequisites:

The course is set at an intermediate level, so you should be a confident top rope climber with experience in establishing belay systems utilising natural or artificial anchors and in belaying climbers. 

Price: $270 per person*

*All prices include GST. Additionally, CAWA will subsidize $50 per member for a net price of $220 per person.

Adventure Out will provide

1. experienced instructor(s)
2. all necessary rock climbing equipment (feel free to bring any personal gear you may have)
3. $10 million public liability insurance
4. comprehensive first aid kit
