The Canyon Self-Rescue Course is an advanced programme exclusively for people with solid, proven canyoning experience. Completion of both the introductory and advanced canyoning courses is strongly recommended. The aim is to learn rescue techniques for canyon environments so participants can respond effectively in an emergency: hauling an injured person upward, cutting ropes, pulley systems, first aid, and safety protocols. Key topics: hauling an injured person · passing a knot · lowering an injured person · pulley systems · ascending a rope · first aid · safety protocols · risk management. Course structure (3 days): The first weekend includes a full day of technique practice with a closing debrief to pinpoint areas needing reinforcement, followed by a dry canyon to apply skills in context. On the third day, participants tackle an aquatic canyon fully autonomously, demonstrating mastery of all rescue techniques covered during the course.
