Students will learn how to construct and operate anchor systems, fixed rope systems, lowering systems, dual tension systems, belay systems, mechanical advantage systems, and patient packaging devices and systems. Students will learn about identifying hazards and resource needs, planning, and supporting technician-level operations.
