Rope Rescue small team tactics and techniques will be tailored to the skill levels of participants. Previous experience is not required! Our goal is to provide a learning environment that will provide an opportunity to gain hands on experience with a variety of rope rescue systems. We aim to provide a fun, informative session that focuses on safety and efficiency working with rope rescue systems. In addition, each person will get the opportunity to work in the vertical environment.

PPE Requirements:

safety shoes or boots. Preferably with ankle support

protective eyewear

gloves that fit well, not firefighting gloves

helmet and harness if you have one. If not they will be provided.
