I think escaping a belay and doing an abseil pluck off are two good starting points for people to practice.
Some good reading can be found here:
http://www.climbing.com/skills/save-yourself-a-guide-to-self-rescue/
http://www.chockstone.org/TechTips/LeaderRescue.htm
My favourite book is :
Climbing Self-Rescue: Improvising Solutions for Serious Situations, by Andy Tyson and Molly Loomis ($19.95; mountaineersbooks.org)
I first practiced escaping a belay in my garage by putting a 20kg weight on belay. Also practiced alot of rescue techniques on non-climbing weekends by using a tree in my back yard. Fix a line, practice ascending, knot bypasses, abseil pluckoffs, all that stuff. Some mountaineering clubs and associations also have access to indoor gyms where you can practice this stuff. |
