pm send as well,

Are they still available? I will buy them, thanks

I dont mean to speak for them but in cases where the climber has fallen and is injured, there is often distracting pain and several other things happening that will not allow med folk to clear the spine. This means its a backboard and litter evac. ....an exception may be where the patient is upright and walking before anyone med folk get there. I am a WFR and know how difficult it is to clear the spine in the field

The RAT team is Reach and Treat. Its medical treatment. No high angle or even low angle litter evacuation capacity.

Congrats on getting off the hill or at least down to the snow cat. yea on the rescue timetable, if PMR is not patrolling, then its 90 mins to drive from town, 15 min cat load/unload, 45 min cat ride, 90mins to hogsback thats 4 hours minimum. It can be a long wait when the biggest exposure to the patient might be shock and hypothermia. On your comment about the avalanche on the rim, the debris that you saw was caused by wind and a melt cycle and not a slide.
