Or have you had to "learn the hard way" how to assist your partner off of a multi-pitch climb after they took a big fall on the crux pitch? Potentially you and your partner had a close encounter with a storm rolling in on an alpine endeavor? These are just a few of the many scenarios that require the knowledge of Self Rescue for the multi-pitch environment.
This two-day Multi-Pitch Self Rescue Course is a perfect course for any climber that is now enjoying bigger, more committing mountain objectives. Whether an incident occurs to us, our partner, or another climbing party beside you, it is an empowering feeling to know what to do in order to assist the situation.
