During a week of rope rescue, students were in the field learning the essentials of high-angle rescue, including rope use, use of anchors, raising and lowering patients, and patient hoist systems. This fit in very well with the rope training given during the Swiftwater Rescue portion and added new elements of terrain, unique scene-safety issues, as well as issues of caring for patients while they are in a litter or otherwise secured to a rope-rescue system.
