Rigging Lab Academy (RLA) is an online community and training hub for rigging professionals.

We began this inception as an arena of learning and a center for exchanging knowledge in the varied industries of lightweight rigging centered around rope rescue, search and rescue, industrial rope access, slacklining, climbing, arbor and natural rope access, as well as adventure courses and "backyard" projects. We explore equipment (what) and the physics (why) behind it.

We remain as independent as possible with our global network and collaboration of teachers, instructors, artists and philosophers of the art of rigging. We want to inspire organizations to higher ground of efficiency and professionalism. Our purpose is to inspire and engage nations in more than just head knowledge, but to help build a true love for what makes this world work.

We are still intimately connected to our sister company, Rescue Response Gear.
