We will review the skills from the ARC Pro Intro Self Rescue class, then move into new skills more applicable in multipitch terrain.  Students will learn how to assist a follower using hauling methods, lower a climber from a top belay with a knot pass, and descend multiple pitches with another climber using tandem rappels.  The class consists of two outdoor field days  for learning and practicing skills.
