Need others for Rock Rescue Course

Hey! I'm trying to take a rescue course in the near future, however, all of the regularly scheduled courses look like they are either over or won't happen until at least Aug.
It looks like most local guiding companies will run a "private" clinc, but for me to take that solo, it would be $$$$. So looking for other like-minded folks.
I'm open to driving to the springs or even to the western slope. Weather is good enough now for dirtbagging.

Here are some available: opinions?
Personally, the golden mountain guides one looks good for a good price, they just don't have private course prices listed. I sent them a message, we'll see what they say.
Otherwise, the pikes peak ones also look good and you can see the prices per # of people listed.
I'm mostly interested in rescue as pertains to multipitch alpine.

Also, when are people available? I'm currently in between jobs so weekdays work for me as well as weekends. I'd like to schedule asap before I end up having to start working again. :) Probably will be out of town around the 4th.

Check with Gregger man on this site. Good instructor. Very reasonable. I might even join you for a refresher.

Highly recommend Denver Mountain Guiding. They ran a course last week, but perhaps with enough people you could coordinate another.

This is from Golden Mountain Guides:

Hey there Stephanie,
Thanks for reaching out.  We would definitely love to get out and work on some Self Rescue with you.  We can offer you a private Self Rescue clinic for our normal Private Full Day prices:

  • 3 ppl = $150 per person
  • 4 ppl = $125 per person
  • 5 ppl = $105 per person

Right now that's the best price for the majority of content I'm interested in at the moment.
I'd like to do it next week sometime Wed-Sat.

*********************************
Please PM me if you could commit and which day you could do it, I want to see how many people. Obviously would like to find 4 others.

Hey, so I have at least 1 other interested in this Thursday, June 27. If we can get at least one more, we can go with Golden Mtn Guides.
Otherwise it'll have to be after the week of the 4th for me.

Let me know asap!
