Improvised Rescue at Wild Cat..

Katherine, Nick and I were at Wild Cat crags near Matlock Bath today practising some improvised rescues.

This was in preparation for Katherine's forthcoming Mountain Instructors Award assessment. We had a fairly epic day covering hauling systems, dealing with stuck climbers on an abseil, lowering past a knot, traverse rescues and finally evacuating an unconscious second by a counterbalance (pictured).

Good Luck with the assessment Katherine. As I write this the weather is fantastic in Sheffield; definately worth getting out and making the most of it if you can...
