2008 Mountaineering-Oriented First Aid Course
Course co-chairs: Fred Inman 612-817-1614 and Eric Quinn 360-556-4969
Course: In order to graduate from the Basic Climbing or Alpine Scrambling courses, you must also complete the Mountaineering Oriented First Aid (MOFA) Course. When you have completed MOFA, you will be prepared to serve as a First Aid leader for a climbing party of 12 on a multi-day outing. Although first aid skills will be emphasized, the "critical" skills in MOFA are scene management, emergency response, and leading a first aid team.
Come prepared to learn, be challenged and have fun. We will be spending time outside rain or shine at Kenneydell Park, so please come dressed comfortably and prepared to spend time outdoors. Also bring your daypack packed for an early spring outing. Be sure to include extra clothing, trekking poles, your current first aid kit and the rest of your 10 Essentials.
We have a lot of material to cover so the pace will be fast. The class will be more meaningful if you have done the reading prior to class.
Snacks and beverages will be provided. Please bring a lunch to all weekend classes. A refrigerator and microwave are available.
Cost: The fee is $85 for Mountaineer members and $100 for non-members. Textbooks are included: Wilderness 911 and Mountaineering First Aid (5th Edition).
