Pre-Symposium Technical Rope Rescue Workshop
Dates: September 17th & 18th, 2025
Venue: Silverton, CO backcountry
Description: This year, the rigging workshop will focus on fundamental technical rigging techniques and patient care in high angle terrain.
We will provide instruction on various technical rigging solutions in both the classroom and at great field sites in the Silverton area. No previous experience is necessary, however, you will need to complete some pre-course work (learning rescue knots) and provide your own PPE (helmet, gloves, and a climbing harness).
During the course, you will be expected to perform patient assessments and treatments at a BLS level during realistic scenarios. As such, all students should hold a WFR (or higher) certification.
Not Included: lodging, food, & transportation
Workshop Size: limited to 12 students - enrollment will be capped at 12 students in order to provide a good student/instructor ratio and a high quality learning environment. Be sure to sign up early to secure your spot!
Cancellation Policy: 60% of the cost can be refunded up to 30 days prior to the workshop start. No refunds are provided for cancellations made less than 30 days prior to the start of the workshop for which you are registered. We cannot be responsible for any personal or travel conditions that may prevent attendance at the course.
