The above list is not exhaustive, nor is it a checklist. While we provide a curriculum, the
techniques, equipment, and personal experiences that you and your team bring make this and
every Rigging for Rescue workshop or seminar a custom experience.
Competently executing a patient evacuation using ropework and rigging - by yourself or in a small team setting - requires a high degree of skill and a calm demeanor. Having these skills is a requisite part of being a competent climber or rope rescue professional. We are all lifelong students of the science and art of practical rigging and we invite you to expand your own skill set and join us for an intense week of training.
Dates: Monday, October 1 - Friday, October 5, 2012 (Ouray, CO)
Fees: $995 US. A deposit of $250 US is required upon registration with final payment due two months prior to the workshop start date. Canadian $ are accepted at the current exchange.
Includes a smaller participant-to-instructor ratio than our RfR Seminar offering.

• personal ropework and rigging skills for climbing and rescue
• companion rescue scenarios (aka Self Rescue or Partner Rescue)
• small team approaches to challenging ropework evacuations

As a climber, have you critically considered your own ability to extricate yourself or your
injured climbing partner from an unforeseen predicament in challenging terrain? The end result
of that type of incident will largely be driven by the skills you bring to the table as a true
ropework practitioner. The ability to improvise sound rescue systems using common
equipment should be a requisite skill base for both climbers and SAR personnel operating in
more remote environments.
The Rigging for Rescue Self Rescue and Small Team Response Workshop is designed to meet the needs of those seeking to take their own on-rope and rigging skills to the next level. The workshop continuum begins with personal ropework skills, transitions into companion rescue scenarios, and finishes with team-based exercises utilizing small groups of 2-3 respondents. It is ideally suited to recreational climbers, climbing guides, military Special Forces, and mountain rescue personnel.
Workshop participants can count on a wide variety of topics and techniques including:
