Advanced Skills Rescue – RTR

We hold the Advanced Skills Rescue Workshop (ASRW) only one time during any given year. It is a seven-day seminar dealing with the remaining “10% Solution.” This rigorous course “for wizards” applies some aspects of the Team Skills Rescue Workshop. Yet it goes well beyond both of these in intensity of rigging and application of physical principles. The course begins abruptly with an impromptu field exercise to assess existing skill level within the “team.” Instructors emphasize placing low-tech solutions to rescue scenarios before heading into technical solutions in the form of highlines. The seminar then explores all the available possibilities for setting up a horizontal, sloping, or steep highline for removing, transporting, or inserting rescuers or a patient.

The main event of the eight-day ASRW seminar is an extreme highline of over 600′ station-to-station high above the valley floor treetops. The ASRW also explores all aspects of advanced rigging, including fall factors (ideal and practical), and reviews the belay drop test data more acutely than previous courses. The Advanced Skills Rescue Workshop is rigging intensive!
