Single Rope Technique

One Day Single Rope Technique Course

Have you heard of the terms 'lock-off', 'self-rescue', 'one-on-one rescue' or 'change over'? Ever wondered how to climb back up a rope when caught in space on an overhang, or abseil past the point where two ropes are joined? When securing an anchoring system, are you sure that those knots you've tied aren't going to let you down, and that the belay anchors will do the job you ask of them?

The Single Rope Techniques (SRT) course is designed to teach you all this and more. It builds on your basic roping skills and experience and at the conclusion of the program you will have the answers to all these questions and be able to manage yourself safely and confidently in a vertical environment. The One Day Single Rope Technique course is structured to allow the maximum amount of hands-on time possible and to be flexible to your skill levels and requirements. Constant feedback on your development will be given throughout the course, including a summary of progress at the conclusion of the program.

We have a high instructor to participant ratio (1:6) which enhances the learning environment, safety and quality of your experience throughout the day.

Testimonials

Had an awesome time today with the SRT course! Very informative and great ratio, very one on one. - Jonathan, WA

I feel a thousand times more confident now that I know I have a personal skillset to get me out of situations that might come up. Dave was fantastic at explaining everything and was super patient with me, and took the time to explain the ins and outs of all the equipment so I know what to look for. - Sophie, WA
