This is a two-day Rock Climbing Self Rescue course taught by Synnott Mountain Guides in North Conway, NH on August 20-21, 2022.

Cost is $225 per person as long as we fill 8 slots, which is a significant discount from the normal rates. (You may be eligible for a leader subsidy if you are an active leader; contact Leader Coordinator, Paul Lilin, to check if you qualify). A ~10% 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 shortly after you signup, and those who do not pay within 48 hrs of the request to collect will be bumped from the trip and their spots will be given to waitlisted individuals. If there is a long enough wait list, we will likely plan another one later at a later date.

This class is oriented towards climbers who are familiar with anchors and trad gear and are looking to get into more multi-pitch 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 include:

• Rescuing a fallen second
• Rescuing a fallen leader
• Escaping belay
• Load Transfers
• Friction hitches
• Rope Ascension
• Passing a Knot
• Hauling systems

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

More details on schedule coming soon, but participants should plan on heading up Friday night, or getting to North Conway early on Saturday. There will likely be an option to stay at Intervale.
