But once you’ve gained access to the wounded on the wall, or unearthed avalanche victim, has not finished the job. Should we find ourselves in a secluded area in the lucky event that we have reception enough to call 112 and they send us help, the time between we have access to the victim and rescuers arrive, can make the difference between life and death. It is as important to have a good first-aid course as being an expert mountain guide course in case we are in these areas isolated. This course is adapted to our knowledge (we are not doctors) and the fact that we in the mountains. Without messing around teaching things that are unnecessary, this course goes to the point, to clear and simple things that can help to save a life.
Taught by Fernando Solar, doctor in Alto Campoo ski resort and the Red Cross, has 20 years of experience in this sector and is a former member of Red Cross and Cantabria Lifesaving Federation.
