Climb Safe Reminders
Climbing AccidentsClimbing has inherent risks. Even the best climbers make errors or can be injured from equipment failure. Most accidents result from miscommunication or belay failures. If you or your partner become injured while climbing at City of Rocks, consider taking the following actions: 1. Stabilize the injurey and provide first aid. Usually within 30 minutes of an accident, local QRU, Park Rangers, and County Deputies are enroute to the site of the accident. Self rescues and self transportation to medical facilities for climbing injuries are not necessarily your best choice. Park Rangers, Almo QRU, and County Sheriff's Department can respond and provide first level care at no cost to the injured. Ambulance and Lifeflight services are generally available within 30-45 minutes of receiving a request. |
