Our membership consists of persons trained in technical rope rescue techniques, emergency medical skills, as well as technical search and rescue skills.
PCSAR members give freely of their own time and money in order to acquire the life-saving skills and knowledge required to provide safe and successful search and rescue operations.
There are many different roles and levels of support - you don't have to be a world-class climber to provide an indispensable service to the search and rescue community. A new member class is held once or twice a year. This class involves four intense weeks, attendance required.
Upon successful completion of the class, new members can begin working through higher rankings and levels of fieldability according to time and training requirements. Anyone is welcome at in-building evening trainings other times of the year until the next new member class begins.
