Eco-Rescue Challenge Final Exam!

Get ready for the Primal Quest of Rescue! This coming Friday the 27^th we will be meeting at the Sandia Peak Tramway at 8:30am to begin your final exam. Please do not be late, as the tram will leave at 9am with or without you and that would just be embarrassing….

Once on top of the Sandia Crest we will break into our 4 rescue strike teams, listed below, and your first scenario will be given. Medical equipment will be provided for you. Please being your RESCUE ORIENTED day pack and be prepared for a long day on the mountain. If for some reason the tram shuts down, most likely due to wind, we will be hiking 8 miles down the La Luz trail. Check the weather…. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=87122&wuSelect=WEATHER It should be interesting. Below is a list of skills that will be assessed throughout the day. The Strike Team that is most proficient in the skill sets based off of the instructors recommendations will be awarded the "Golden Carabiner" at the party.
