Ropes that Rescue: The ULTIMATE Outdoor Rope Rigging Laboratory

The Art of Clean Rigging

Rope rigging training schools these days are a dime a dozen and all are NOT created equal. Often, they force students into hollowed-out, brightly-lit, urban industrial structures for lack of a better venue.

The scenic red rock sandstone canyonlands of Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon offer a one-of-a-kind rope rigging experience away from civilization and paved roads. Expand and broaden your rigging horizons with the ULTIMATE Outdoor Rigging Laboratory that no other school can match.

World-renowned rope rigging and rescue instructor, author and lecturer, Reed Thorne, hosts your experience. Long known for his original lectures that others copy, Reed will insure you come away with the understanding of not only "what" you believe, but also more importantly "WHY" you believe it.
