The expansive mountain countryside surrounding Durango is a
paradise for recreation. Biking, climbing, skiing,
four-wheeling...the list goes on. On the unlucky occasion, fun in
the hills can head south in a matter of moments. Fortunately for
us, one of the most experienced units in the Rockies is on call.
The Durango Fire Technical Rescue Team responds to a variety of
rescue situations involving ropework. From low-angle road
embankments to challenging technical rescues high in the mountains,
a dedicated crew has got our back. Last Monday, theTelegraphcaught
up with the team at X-rock for a morning of ropes training.
