Who:

Primary Target Audience: Priority will go to SAC organizers, then assistants and attendance is encouraged. Finally recreational climbers who already climb or work on rope and need rescue skills that are realistic, efficient, and field‑appropriate. Often climbing in remote environment (Multi‑pitch rock climbers, Trad climbers, Alpine climbers, and Ice climbers). Come if you want to learn new skills, refresh on already acquired skills or come out and help participants. Priority will go to folks who can attend all 3 sessions. If you are not able to attend the previous HAR session, there will be homework and you are expected to know the previous material.

Why HAR matters to them: Climbing environments are remote and self‑rescue is often the only option.

Baseline skills assumed: Knots, belaying, rappelling, Anchor building, Comfortable hanging on rope
