Mountain Responder

Mountain Responder by Achelis, Steve. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781608441075.

As a member of a busy mountain rescue team, Steve Achelis participated in hundreds of rescues that frequently made the evening news. In Mountain Responder, Steve takes the reader along on these life-and-death rescues as he and his teammates dig people out of avalanches, hang on a thin cable below a helicopter, and rescue climbers stuck on rock walls. Threaded throughout these unforgettable rescues, Steve shares the exhilaration of saving a life, the fears and uncertainties during the struggle to keep a patient alive, as well as the doubts and second-guessing when someone doesnt make it.
