Hey, sorry for the delay in getting back with you. I am slow at this!
We had the rope operations class back in March. It was for the Northwest Ohio USAR Team members and those who wanted to join. I don't know if Mark would teach a class like this or not. If you need to contact me faster email me at Ballfire121@yahoo.com. Later, stay safe.
