Whether you are new to climbing or have been leading 5.11 for years, these informative, skill oriented clinics will teach you how to avoid the common mistakes of self rescue while multi-pitch climbing. Every year, numerous climbers are injured or killed by making mistakes that could have been easily be avoided. Do you know what you would do if your partner was injured?

This clinic is geared for the multi-pitch and alpine climber who desires to be self reliant while climbing. Learn how to rescue an injured climber, how to deal with stuck ropes and many other techniques using standard rock climbing gear. We will teach you the rope skills to get yourself out of almost any situation. This is a two-part indoor clinic conveniently located in the Bay Area. All the skills can easily be learned in a comfortable indoor setting. While you can take only the level one, we suggest taking both clinics to gain all the skills. To take level two, we highly suggest you attend a level one clinic.
