This section will highlight the financial support given to the Park County Search and Rescue by the Foundation in an effort to be completely transparent in the use of donated funds. So, feel free to check back occasionally to see how foundation funds are used to support Park County Search and Rescue efforts.
High Angle Rope Training
An essential role of the Foundation is to provide funding for training, through which Search and Rescue volunteers are able to attend world class training. This particular training was held last summer in Salt Lake City at the world famous Petzl facility.
The session was taught by members of Peak Rescue in association with Rich Delaney of Ropelab International. Our volunteers joined others from across the country for five days of full immersion into the art of lightweight backcountry rope rescue.
As a result of trainings such as this, efficiency, professionalism, and success are enhanced during a real rescue.
