Räddningskurs 1 klippa

Self-rescue basics

Self-rescue course 1 gives you the foundations for helping and rescuing a second climber on rock.

This course builds the core competence you need to handle incidents that can arise on the rock when a normal rappel or lower is no longer enough.

After the course you will be able to carry out the central techniques of self-rescue on rock. You learn to release and unload systems, raise and lower an injured climber, prusik up a rope, rappel past a knot, and stabilize or move a person who cannot continue on their own. We also cover how to structure a simple first-aid kit and work methodically under stress.

The course is taught from the perspective of the leader and requires that you are already comfortable leading either traditional or bolted routes and can work independently at an anchor. It is aimed at climbers who want to take responsibility for their own safety on longer routes and build robust routines for unexpected situations.

Everything you learn is intended to give you a solid foundation for continued development before Self-Rescue 2.

Duration: 2 days.

The Swedish Climbing Federation's badge for authorised rock climbing instructors

Always use an authorised instructor

Being a rock climbing instructor means the instructor has completed several years of training, has been examined by the Swedish Climbing Federation, and keeps their licence current through continuous education. 'Rock Climbing Instructor' is an international standard under the UIAA (the international organisation for climbing and mountaineering, "Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme") that assures the quality of instructors' experience and competence.
