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 the Lazy V parking lot in Staunton State Park at 8 am.
