This class is designed to introduce students to Single Rope Technique (SRT) basic skills. Students will be instructed on how to safely climb and rappel using SRT with hands-on training in both classroom and field settings. While the class is a group setting, the instructor to student ratio is about 1:2 to ensure safety; each learning station has a dedicated instructor.

Topics covered include: rigging and equipment, climbing systems and their applications, ascending, descending, changeovers in both directions, and dealing with rope obstructions. 

Class starts at 8 am on Saturday at Brindlee Mountain Fire Station 1: morning is indoor classroom, afternoon is hands-on skills in a covered high bay. There is no end-time, but a typical class wraps up the day around 6 pm. Sunday, class is in the field all day on gorgeous bluffs! 

Class will be held rain, heat, or shine. We train for real-life situations, come prepared for weather!
