Artificial High Directional Workshop – RTR

Artificial High Directional Workshop (AHDW)

Tuition: $1750

Dates: May 10 – 16, 2026

This workshop would be suitable for ANY manufactured or improvised high directional (not including wood frame), including the Larkin Frame, SMC Terradaptor, or Ferno Aracnipod (students requesting training on these artificial high directionals (AHD) are required to bring these devices with them to their program). This program concentrates on constructed frames in general and is not intended to teach highlines, advanced pulley systems, or offsets (although some of these are touched upon). Physics, as it relates to high directionals, is covered in an extensive manual and several lectures. The AHDW is a hands-on workshop on the use and correct implementation of AHD for industry and wilderness settings. The AHDW is also well suited for teaching rope access professionals the benefits of constructed frames in their work.
