Your crew has a rescue plan. Can they execute it?
There is a difference between a binder on a shelf and four people who can build a lowering system under pressure, at height, with someone's life on the clock.

Three points of connection. Then two. Never fewer.
On a fixed horizontal aid climb, you work down from three connection points to two โ and never below two. That is the discipline the whole traverse runs on, and it is the first thing we train.
APEX runs IRATA and SPRAT rope access certification in Calgary, AB โ plus NFPA rope rescue, fall protection and confined space entry. Open enrolment dates and crew bookings: ๐ https://itu0sq.short.gy/apex-fb-ep04

Six days out. IRATA rope access training runs August 10โ14 in Calgary.
If you've been meaning to get certified, this is the intake to do it on. Seats are capped so every student gets real time on the ropes with an instructor, not a spot in the back of a crowded room.
Five days from Monday to Friday, and you finish with IRATA International certification: the credential that gets you on wind towers, refineries, bridges, and high-rise work across Canada and internationally.
Course investment: $1,850 CAD + GST
Dates: August 10โ14, 2026

Did you know a single rescuer can raise a full-grown adult up a rope?
It's not strength. It's a 3:1 mechanical advantage system: rope, pulleys and progress-capture devices that turn every 30 kg of pull into 90 kg of lift. Rig a 6:1, and it gets easier again.
Friction takes its cut, so you never get the whole number back. Learning where it goes is part of the training.
Physics older than the machines running it, working through hardware that fits in a kit bag.
It's one of the first systems every student rigs in Rope Rescue Operator training โ because when someone's hanging and hurt, you don't want to be improvising force calculations.
