This is a two-day Rock Climbing Self Rescue course taught by Synnott Mountain Guides in North Conway, NH on August 24-25, 2019. Participants will be staying/camping at the Intervale Cabin.

Cost is $200 per person (eligible for leader subsidy for active climbing leaders, contact Leader Coordinator Cole Crawford to check if you qualify). A 10-15% tip is also common for this type of course.

If you sign up for this trip, you are committing to attending the course. We will collect payment Monday, August 5, and those who do not pay within 48 hrs will be bumped from the trip and their spots will be given to waitlisted individuals.

This class is oriented towards climbers who are familiar with anchors and placing trad gear and are looking to get into more multipitch and alpine climbing. This course is not about trad gear placements, learning how to lead, climbing technique, or building anchors.

During the course you will learn various techniques, and practice in smaller groups. Techniques you'll learn: - Rescuing a fallen second - Rescuing a fallen leader - Escaping belay - Load Transfers - Friction hitches - Rope Ascension - Passing a Knot - Hauling systems

Participants should plan on heading up Friday night, or getting to North Conway by 7:30 AM Saturday. Everyone will stay at the Intervale cabin at least on Saturday night ($7 per person per night, $3.5 if only camping).

You must know how to tie the basic knots required for this course: especially the figure eight, double fishermans, munter, munter-mule, clove hitch, various friction hitches.
