We will review the skills from the ARC Pro Intro Self Rescue class, then move into new skills more applicable in multipitch terrain. Students will learn how to assist a follower using hauling methods, lower a climber from a top belay with a knot pass, and descend multiple pitches with another climber using tandem rappels. The class consists of two outdoor field days for learning and practicing skills.
