We will review rescue skills learned in previous courses, then move into more advanced self-rescue skills applicable to multi-pitch terrain.  We will also address more advanced rescue problems such as anchor considerations in lead climber rescue and self-belayed climbing. We will spend a full day outdoors with discussion, demos and student practice.

We will meet at 8 am at the trailhead for the Grocery Store Wall in Castlewood Canyon. Enter the Park through the West entrance on Castlewood Canyon Road. Park at the small lot on the right with the single picnic table, just prior to the large lot on the left. Here's the spot on the map-
