Perceptions on Climbing & SAR

As a climber and a SAR vol­un­teer, the major­ity of peo­ple I see get­ting hurt or lost are aver­age hik­ers going out for a day hike or back­pack trip. Many of them are unpre­pared for the out­ing, such as not car­ry­ing the 10 essen­tials. If you get hurt or lost, please know that search and res­cue efforts in Wash­ing­ton are free. In fact, King County’s SAR units are non-profit orga­ni­za­tions which are 100% voun­teer run. If you need help and have cell cov­er­age, you can call 911.
