Product Details

Climbing Self-Rescue by Ian Nicholson is built for multipitch climbers who want a rescue playbook they can actually run when something goes wrong. The focus stays on methods that work in the real world with the gear climbers already carry.

Written by IFMGA/UIAGM guide Ian Nicholson, this richly illustrated manual lays out clear, memorable technical systems for a technical rescue the climbing team can execute on its own—covering essentials like escaping the belay, lowering a climber, dealing with a stuck rope, improvising ascenders, and using aid-climbing techniques in rescues, plus rescuing an injured leader and more.
