Who We Are
Rigging for Rescue's cadre of instructors is a mix of highly skilled trainers all with an abundance of experience in SAR
and technical ropework instruction. We are well versed in the craft of taking the sometimes complex subject matter
of technical ropework and imparting it in such a way that the seminar participant not only gains understanding, but
also retention of the material.
First and foremost, our instructors are all seasoned practitioners. As alpinists, skiers, climbing guides, firefighters and SAR team members, we spend our time working and playing at height on rope. The skills and knowledge gained from being an active practitioner in high consequence terrain help us in being more effective trainers.
Technical rope rescue is an access and transportation challenge. It involves risk assessment and decision making, both of which require judgment. Our instructor cadre brings a wealth of practical experience and knowledge that spans most of the mediums one would encounter in technical rope rescue including rock, ice, snow, high alpine, glacier, water and industrial terrain. Our continued philosophy is to focus on a principle-based approach to problem solving with an emphasis on simple, lightweight and versatile systems that combine a comfortable patient ride with high degrees of system integrity.
