TCS Basic Self Rescue - Modular Track

This class is the first of three rock self-rescue classes we offer. It is a prerequisite for all other rock rescue classes. It may be taken as a stand-alone class, or as part of the Alpine Climbing School "Modular" track.

Completion of online learning is required before field day.

Prerequisite for this class is Intermediate rock.

We will cover three basic self-rescue skills:
