Rope rescue is utilized in wilderness, urban, industrial, water, confined space and many other special rescue situations. These are highly technical skills that require training, practice, experience and judgment to properly and successfully use.

ERI's five day rope rescue class teaches the latest techniques that have been in use for the past several years. The systems taught in this class have been field tested, lab tested and proven reliable in the real world of wilderness, urban, industrial, water, and confined space rescue.

ERI instructors have over 35 years of combined experience in all types of rescue situations. All are members of very active rescue teams in Alberta.
