Learn to handle unexpected situations on the wall and climb with confidence.
Our Self-Rescue Course teaches you the essential techniques to respond safely and efficiently to incidents while climbing. Through practical, hands-on exercises on real rock, you’ll gain the knowledge and calm needed to act effectively in any situation.
Throughout the course, you’ll practice key maneuvers and rescue systems to manage emergencies in a safe and controlled way:
- Rope ascension and descent techniques.
- Changing systems and load transfers.
- Partner hauling and lowering.
- Rescue maneuvers while abseiling.
- Real-world scenarios and problem-solving on the wall.
- Belay using a GriGri and a Reverso.
- Rappel independently.
If you meet these requirements, you’re ready to take your climbing skills to the next level!
The course takes place in La Mussara (Tarragona, Spain) — one of the most scenic and technical climbing areas in Catalonia.
You can join a group session on scheduled dates listed on our website or choose a private course, tailored to your needs and learning pace.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence and technical ability to act autonomously and safely in case of an emergency during your climbs — whether on sport routes or multi-pitch terrain.
At Southclimb, you’ll learn from certified, experienced climbing guides who combine technical precision with a fun, motivating approach. We believe in learning through real experience, so you’ll finish the course not only better prepared — but also more inspired to climb.

(Translated by Google) I did the long route course with Santi and the experience was excellent, with great emphasis on safety and all the factors to take into account when planning a long route and the necessary manoeuvres. The practice day left us to work and find our way on our own, intervening when necessary and always keeping a watchful eye that everything was done safely. Always with good humor and good treatment, which is not less in situations of nerves and tension. Thank you so much!
