SAR in Muir Valley

Post by **weber** » Fri May 14, 2010 6:04 pm

Any Good Samaritans interested in helping out with SAR in Muir Valley, there's a meeting tonight (Friday, May 14) at 8pm at True North Inn. Climbers with WFA, WFR, WEMT, EMT, etc. especially needed. We'll get you a radio to use while you are climbing here in the Valley and access to the Litter and first aid cache. A little informal training - maybe a couple hours - will be needed.

Definately interested, though unfortunately unable to make it out there tonight.

Was the informal training being held during the meeting or will the instruction be held later? I couldn't make the meeting.

In the next few weeks, we will be having free training sessions in SAR skills that might be needed in Muir, or at other climbing venues in the Red, including the PMRP, for that matter. These will include instructions on how to take over a belay and ascend to an injured or stuck climber, pick-off of a stuck climber/rappeller from the topside, patient treatment and packaging in a litter, and low angle litter transport.

Stay tuned for dates and times.
