When people are trapped in the mountains, every moment brings them closer to danger. Each year, mountain rescuers locate lost hikers, rescue injured skiers, and help find avalanche victims. Besides being excellent rock climbers, mountain rescuers must have top-notch survival skills. They must be good at reading maps, providing first aid, and removing people from dangerous and remote places. Discover how mountain rescuers save lives each year in some of the riskiest missions ever!
