The Altadena Mountain Rescue Team passed our technical rock recertification for the California region MRA with flying colors. Search and rescue teams from all over California all met in the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine to be tested and re-certified on their technical rock rescue skills. Using a system described as "elegant" by our testing proctors, we were able to extract a simulated injured victim and transport him to safety over difficult rocky terrain while maintaining a high standard of medical care. Shown above is the team after the recertification including the two newest full members showing off their MRA patches.

Who are these local heroes? Names?
ReplyDeleteHey Andrew, my apologies for having missed your post. We're all volunteers who have regular jobs and live around the Pasadena/Altadena area. In the above photograph listed clockwise starting at the top left are: Pedroza, Moran, Kinsey, Hurd, Stephen, Afschar, De Leon, Joens, Hartman, Moussally... That's me and my teammate getting promoted. A great weekend! Thanks so much for you interest!
