Activity Notes

Leadership Training: High-Angle Rescue Recert: Train the Trainers (Sunday 10/27)

This is a small group one-day recertification training targeted towards members of the climb leadership in the Mazamas, specifically those who have had prior high-angle rescue training that meets the Climb Leader (D/E) standard (generally, this is AR/ASI rescue curriculum). ICS/AR/ASI instructors are also welcome to join this training, given available space.

You should have functional knowledge of and experience using common climbing knots and hitches, two-point and three-point anchors, belaying from above and below, rappelling with back-ups, placing rock, snow and ice protection (as it applies to leader type), belay escapes, improvised rope ascension methods, and mechanical advantage systems.
