The Corvallis Mountain Rescue Newsletter is published monthly to keep friends and members of the Unit informed of our activities. Bring your own tools and Cleaning supplies. We arrived to find most of CMRU on hand for this year's rock practice - a good sign that this is one of our most popular training events.
Realism is a good thing.
Susan's performance was worthy of an Academy Award nomination. We quickly sent out the hasty team, while the rest of us mobilized the remaining gear. Don did a great job running things, and each station had an expert on hand to see that things were done properly. Luckily Bob had the foresight to go ahead and rig the raising system during some downtime at initial set up - a real time saver when it came time to actually use it. To add realism Bob had arranged for some dreadful amounts of rain that morning which put our patience and raingear to the test.
