Great weekend working with folks from the North Carolina teams at the Southwestern College SPAR/SRT class. Two days with a lot of different techniques including traveling hauls, pickoffs using victim’s rope, high directionals, guided rappels, bottom up rescues, improvised anchors, rebelays, SRT climbing, take-down raps, breaking into mainlines, lightweight single rope systems, contingency lowers, buddy rappels, and a whole lot more. As always when it comes to working in North Carolina, we couldn’t ask for a better group of technicians to work with. Much thanks to David Walker, Kevin Reeves and Jason Lovvorn for all their help with instructing. Keep an eye on the Southwestern College site since we will be running this one again in the near future. Oh, and it didn’t pour down rain – that’s a first for us!!
