 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.

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