climbing and aerial rescue

[VEG]

Hi all new here and will be doing the aerial rescue course at the begining of October with proclimber from west wales.

Another work mate has allready done it and passed while he was doing his he had to rescue a chap that really had gone into diabetic shock.

So pressure is on for me to pass. Not done any climbing since I was a teenager, did a bit of rock climbing and abseiling so its all a bit new to me. Best bit is all my kit and course paid for by my employer

If your just doing the exam with no training then the best of British to you, you may need it!

 

I hope you never have to rescue me if you pass.

If you read the whole post you will see I AM doing cs38 which is a five day course, and I hope you never need recuing either.

Ha.

 

For some reason I thought 38 was climbing with a saw.

 

Anyway good luck.

Good luck, make sure you know the answers to the questions thatl give you a good head start. The rain will give you a little lee-way. I did mine when it was raining very heavily on and off, so much so that we had to stop the climb before the aerial rescue and then go back up afterwards. your allowed to be a little less confident in your balance when its been raining, and less will be expected of you for the branch walk etc. Remember that your not trying to prove your a good climber, just that you know the techniques and can enact them efficiently. so dont fart around, but definately dont rush - just take it steady and youl be fine.

Many thanks for the replies I am really looking forward to doing the course.
