Personal Skills Rescue Workshop – RTR

Personal Skills Rescue Workshop

Tuition: $1750

The Personal Skills Rescue Workshop is considered by many past students as our most enjoyable, interactive, and physically demanding. There is no shortage of “on-rope” time at this workshop! The PSRW and the Team Skills Rescue Workshop are the courses which fulfill the 90% solution on most rope rescues within industry and wilderness locations. It is designed for the serious rope rescue practitioner wishing to improve their personal rigging skill and capability. This workshop is sometimes mistakenly perceived as a beginning program due to the personal nature of many of the evolutions. In fact, it is for those that never seem to get enough on-rope experience or time over the edge. The PSRW begins with valuable, yet simple definitions for belays, self-belays, conditional belays, and conditional self-belays and how these differ in their engineering. It goes into important orientation on personally carried gear such as ascenders and descenders, self-belay devices, Purcell prusiks, the all-valuable AZTEK kit, and other items essential to safety in the vertical realm and then moves into practical and fun-filled days where multiple one-on-one rope stations keep the practitioner busy throughout the day. We have many return students to this program!
