Vertical Rescue Training.
There have been several inquires lately about local cave rescue training. In response, the Pacific Northwest Region of the NCRC is pleased to present Self-Rescue in the Vertical Cave Environment in Trout Lake, Washington on September 20th & 21st. Topics include pick-offs, rigging for contingencies, counter-balances, mechanical advantage, overcoming edges, minimal equipment, and organizing a rescue. This is not about becoming a member of a call-out rescue team. This is about small-party techniques you can use to help your fellow cavers should something happen while you are on a caving trip.

For more information, the seminar brochure, including registration information, can be found at http://ncrc. info. The seminar is only a month and a half away so be sure to start planning now. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Aaron
