Meet at the far parking lot in RRCOS at 11 am.  We can stay until dusk if desired.

 This practice session is for prior graduates of our ARC Pro Intro to Self-Rescue class, or who have already taken an equivalent class or have equivalent skills.  We will be practicing the skills of the climber pick-off (which includes getting hands-free, ascending the rope, and a counterbalance rappel), escaping a belay, and passing a knot on rappel.
