In this newly refreshed website, we plan to highlight the importance of Search and Rescue. Our hope is that everyone makes it off the mountain safely. To that end, we will write about proper preparation, gear, and whatever else that will allow you to climb again another day. We will also link to stories about real-life missions as we hear about them, knowing that education is key to keeping us all safe. And we are developing a series of stickers specifically designed to raise both awareness and money for volunteer rescue organizations; with every purchase of a SAR-related sticker, Top Peak will donate $2 to a SAR group.
Unfortunately, accidents happen. Here in Colorado, the month of May has already brought a fatality on Longs Peak and rescues on Quandary, Elbert, and Massive. For you 14ers hikers, help fund Search and Rescue; please invest in a Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue (CORSAR) Card today!
