This course builds on the basics and is designed to prepare climbers for more complex scenarios—especially in remote or big wall environments. Through hands-on practice, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to manage real rescue situations. YouTube and books are helpful—but nothing replaces live practice with real loads and human partners.

Climbers tackling longer, remote, or committing multipitch routes (6+ pitches). Also highly recommended for those pursuing guiding or instructor certification.
