This course is designed to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for basic rope operations during an emergency response. We explore the
fundamentals for high-angle rope rescue operations. This offering will emphasize the development of exceptional fundamental skills while maintaining the soughtafter PSDS curriculum flexibility. A heightened level of understanding comes from critical thinking and systems analysis – two characteristics of TRI. As educators in the craft, it is our intent to explain and demonstrate both the how’s and the why’s behind the systems and devices we recommend.
