Leadership, Navigation, Rescue, and Radio Comms

July 24, 2013

Today was a classroom day. We spent the morning talking about leadership styles, conflict resolution, and finished with some map and compass work. After lunch we tied some purcell prussiks and then went out to the boulder field to practice some rescue systems. This was a revelation to me, as the purcell prussik is not only useful as a personal anchor system, it also makes a fantastic load transfer device for rescue work. Today was the first (and only) day we were not late for dinner. After supper we spent an evening session talking about electronic communications systems, and in particular detail VHF radios as Cyril has quite an interest in these as a ham radio operator.

As far as we got from camp today.
