Spend a full day in the breathtaking alpine terrain of Mammoth Lakes, California, building the skills every climber should know—but hopes to never use. Led by me, Anouk from Pika Mountain Guides, this 6-hour Rock Climbing Rescue Course is a comprehensive, hands-on training designed for recreational climbers, aspiring guides, and anyone who wants to feel more confident and capable in the vertical world. You'll learn practical techniques for real-world scenarios, including escaping the belay, setting up haul systems, lowering an injured partner, and improvising self-rescue solutions using the gear you already carry. With a focus on safety, problem-solving, and efficiency, I create a supportive and professional learning environment in one of the most scenic climbing areas in the Sierra.
