WILDERNESS FIRST AID + CPR

Seeking thrills in the backcountry is a passion many of us share. We're addicted to the mountains, meadows and beautiful landscapes that call us back time and time again. As climbers, we're a rare breed with a drive for fun and exploration.

Sometimes that fun can stray into the unexpected. And you don't ever want to ask: "what do I do next?" Whether the outdoors are your profession or passion, you should be prepared.

The Wilderness Medical Institute has defined the standards in wilderness medicine. For years they've made sure outdoors enthusiasts don't ask that dreaded question. We're proud to offer the Wilderness First Aid + CPR course at Edgeworks.

Learn about assessment, vital signs, spinal cord injury, shock, wound management, fractures, dislocations, heat and cold injuries, altitude and much, much more. Get ready and register early - before the class fills up!

Course Date: September 23 - 25, 2011
Cost: $200.00 member / $220.00 nonmember

To register, send an email to jayson@edgeworksclimbing.com or call 253-564-4899.

If you're already a Wilderness First Responder, you can renew your certification through this course saving tons of money.

Come climb with us on the Edgeworks' Crag Chasers trips. Here's how it works:

1. A few days before our trip, we'll shoot you an email with all the info.

2. You call in sick, pack your gear and come climb.

Keep your eyes peeled for our announcements!

Crushing Tip
  C'MON CRUSH THIS!  
 

Feeling like your next project is eternally halting your growth? We all hit plateaus. Thankfully, Joey Burns has a suggestion.

While he's traversing the walls, we have a short conversation about his climbing. Joey credits his (freakish) abilities to, what else? Traversing. "If you're a new climber, the best thing you can do is traverse," Joey explains. "Traversing helps me get past all my plateaus, from V1 to V2, from V4 to V5."

Aside from providing an endless series of climbing problems, traversing is extremely helpful in the endurance department. "It's what helped me - especially when I was a new climber."

Looking to further improve your climbing? Check out our Private Lessons or ProRock Coaching programs.
