SMR Lightweight Rigging 10/11 May 2024

The course

A one-day course held in the Sma' Glen area of Perthshire.

Light weight rigging is a brand-new course looking to explore the use of modern light weight equipment such as Tiblocs, Roll clips, Micro Traxions and energy absorbers.

The aim of the course is to explore the use, and limitations of 9mm rope when used with both standard climbing equipment and more specialised hauling set ups. Light weight rigging is not intended to replace traditional rigging, simply provide experiences riggers with new options.

The course will put into context where going light weight is suitable, but more importantly help to understand the type of terrain where these techniques may not be appropriate.

What to bring

• Harness
• Helmet
• Personal PPE for a day on the hill
• Lunch, snacks and drinks for the day

All technical rigging equipment will be provided.

Accommodation

Accommodation will be provided for the Friday night on a B&B basis at the Holiday Inn Express in Perth on a shared basis. The venue for the course will be the Sma' Glen area, which is about a half hour's drive from Perth.
