Research

We produce some of the best research in the world. You’ll hear about this research from any other rescue or climbing instructor/training institution, but you’ll get the first hand information here. Our research on multi-point anchors, ice screw and Abalakov anchors, belay device testing, and other applications of using equipment in real-world configurations is what the rescue field is based on.
