This upcoming Saturday, March 23rd, we're hosting Search and Rescue Appreciation Day at our Lincoln, NH retail location. Show your support with a donation to Mountain Rescue Service, Inc.
"The Mountain Rescue Service Inc. was incorporated in 1972 to provide a specialized technical rescue team to assist land managers and fellow rescue teams in the event that terrain or weather conditions warrant our services. The Mountain Rescue Service’s (MRS) main mission is to aid rock climbers, ice climbers, and winter mountaineers in the mountains of northern New England. Based in North Conway our team is comprised of over fifty members and has two categories of rescue personnel ready to respond to calls from the NH Fish and Game Department, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Appalachian Mountain Club. In addition to these primary rescue organizations, the MRS can respond and assist the local fire and police department, the sheriffs department, the state police, and NH ski areas. While rock climbing, ice climbing, and winter mountaineering is our primary concern; we stand available when other teams need assistance. For example, we have participated in many searches for lost people and airplanes. We also provide man power for summer and winter litter carries in the backcountry even if conditions are non-technical. Our Primary Team is made up of five team leaders and twenty-seven primary team climbers. These team members are qualified to participate in rescues any time of the year, on any technical terrain (rock or ice), in any weather conditions, night or day. A Second Team of twenty-five stand ready to respond on less demanding searches or when litter carries need man power."
