Rope
We teach simple, safe and effective rope skills that have endless applications in emergency response, industry and resource management.
From basic, over-the-bank skills to high-line tyroleans, we can provide the low or high angle rope training best-suited to your needs.
We offer two levels of training:
- Operations - low angle skills
- Technician - low and high angle skills
For more information on choosing the level of training you require, please see our FAQ.
Both courses start with the basics and progress to more advanced techniques in simple, logical steps. No prior rope experience is required.
The applications of technical rope skills are endless including extricating victims; hauling litters and moving heavy objects; crossing moving water or canyons; high rise evacuation, construction and maintenance; extricating vehicles from water, sand or mud; lowering and raising equipment and personnel from helicopters not equipped with winches; bridge, dam and railway construction and inspection; and many more.
Our rope courses are designed to meet the rope rescue criteria of the NFPA 1670 Standard on Operations & Training for Technical Rescue Incidents.
