Members of the Ouray Mountain Rescue Team including three Rigging for Rescue employees recently responded to Horsetail Falls in the backcountry outside of Ouray to assist an injured ice climber. The team chose to use a Guiding Line aerial ropeway system to evacuate the injured party.

Ouray Mountain Rescue Refresher
The Ouray Mountain Rescue Team recently completed a 3-day Rigging for Rescue workshop. Included in the field exercises were the 2-attendant moderate slope lower and raise and guiding line pictured below. It's always fun to train in the sunshine with close friends!

Update and Beyond: Highlines, Guiding Lines, Deflection Lines, Oh My
A diverse group of rope access, fire service, swiftwater and mountain rescue personnel attended last week's Update and Beyond seminar in Ouray, including folks from Australia, Rescue Japan, North Carolina, and Colorado's Front Range.
As usual, it was a skilled and motivated crew that found time for both training and fun in the Ouray sunshine.
