Recognising the need for advanced-level train-the-trainer instruction on the use of any artificial high directional, RTR has developed this 5 day ARIZONA VORTEX INSTRUCTOR COURSE suitable for fire emergency and rope access professionals. Reed Thorne, is the designer of the Arizona Vortex Multipod. This course is meant to assist the rope rescue instructor with information relative to the use of manufactured high directionals. This workshop would be suitable for ANY manufactured or improvised high directional.

The Arizona Vortex Instructors Course is a hands-on workshop on the use and correct implementation of artificial high directionals (AHD) for industry and wilderness settings.
