This skill-check session will cover usage of an emergency descent rope (and a few other lightweight pieces of climbing gear) to aid a frightened participant in descent of scrambling terrain.
Prior to the 6/4 skill-check session, participants will need to complete a thorough 2.5 hours of video training, complete a quiz, and have scrambling knots down pat. (This is a skill check workshop; not an introductory instruction workshop.) The video training includes decision-making criteria for determining if the situation & terrain are appropriate for using a rope, alternatives to using a rope, and critical thinking strategies for avoiding usage of a rope.
Leader permission required -- email leader with your background, and where you are at on the path to scramble leader qualification.
Required Equipment
Boots, diaper harness, locking carabiner, Prussik loop. Bring your rope if you have one.
