“Technical rope rescue is a calling. The technician should find satisfaction through practice alone. When the opportunity to perform a vertical rescue does come along, the technician who knows his craft will be rewarded with a job well done.”
-from “Rigging in the Vertical Realm”, Rhodes and Thorne

    The initial meetings have concluded. The committee voted on, and is proposing a number of changes to individual departments rescue techniques to come up with ONE STANDARD METHOD that everyone is requested to adopt. There are stil multiple reviews that need to happen, but things are moving forward. Contact Oden Olson or Brent Weir for more information.
