We will meet at The American Mountaineering Center.

We will go over teaching students how to convert an extended rappel device to an "Alpine GriGri" to ascend a rappel rope and teaching a simple technique for rescuing a leader. We will demonstrate the techniques and give everyone time to practice them.
