Beyond Descent: Emergency Management in Rope
Sun, Aug 6, 2023 from 12pm - 3pm
Most “Emergency Descent” classes focus on how to get the bottom down from suspension as fast as possible; this class will be different. We will identify the possible emergencies in rope suspension, discuss how dangerous they actually are, and how they can be prevented or addressed. Some commonly held beliefs may get challenged along the way.
The class will also cover:
- What to do after something goes wrong
- Bottom-focused communication tools
- Top-focused response procedures
- Common factors that make emergencies worse
This class is designed for tops and bottoms experienced in rope suspension. The format will be lecture and demo with some class discussion.
