Caroline Ciavaldini trying a corner route. Most of the time corner routes have tiny foodholds and your feet are constantly positioned in the same angle which can give you terrible aching legs/feet So, it's a huge relief when you finally reach the anchor. #climbing #rockclimbing #girlswhoclimb

This year, the featured winner of the Rocky Talkie Search and Rescue Award is the Black Canyon Search and Rescue team, who performed an incredibly technical rescue in 2023 in the Black Canyon, after a climber took a bad fall that left them unconscious, needing medical attention almost 2,000 ft down into the canyon. In this episode, we sit down to chat with Sean Hart, one of the SAR team members at the scene that day, who walks us through the unique challenges of climbing and rescuing in The Black, the harrowing rescue by Blackhawk helicopter, how critical communication is in rescues, and how to always have a plan B. Learn more about the Rocky Talkie Search and Rescue Award, watch the film about this incredible rescue, and get the chance to give back to your local search and rescue team AND win some incredible gear by going to rockytalkie.com/pages/sar-award Announcing the 2024 Rocky Talkie Search & Rescue Award Winners We’re thrilled to partner with Rocky Talkie to announce the winners of the 2024 Search & Rescue Award.
