Advanced Skills Rescue Workshop – RTR

Advanced Skills Rescue Workshop (ASRW)

Tuition: $1,750

Date: 22-28 September

Prerequisite: Must have completed one program: TSRW, OHRW, IRW, AHDW from RTR

The course begins abruptly with an impromptu field exercise to assess existing skill level within the “team.” Instructors emphasize placing low-tech solutions to rescue scenarios before heading into technical solutions in the form of highlines. The seminar then explores all the available possibilities for setting up a horizontal, sloping, or steep highline for removing, transporting, or inserting rescuers or a patient.

The main event of the eight-day ASRW seminar is an extreme highline of over 600′ station-to-station high above the valley floor treetops. The ASRW also explores all aspects of advanced rigging, including fall factors (ideal and practical), and reviews the belay drop test data more acutely than previous courses. The Advanced Skills Rescue Workshop is rigging intensive!
