⛑️⛰️Where the Rope Ends is about Nichole Doane, a trauma nurse from Seattle, who found herself suspended 100 feet above the ground after a rappelling error, in a state of panic. It was in this terrifying moment that she had a profound mental transformation, which not only spared her life but also became her guiding light during the challenging journey of recovery following her harrowing fall.⛰️⛑️

⛑️🏔️Members of Arrowsmith SAR spent a great weekend learning about avalanche skills from @islandalpineguides as part of their avalanche training. The ability to operate in avalanche terrain safely, and complete risk assessments, is imperative. Congrats to 4 Members for achieving their AST 1 Qualification! 🏔️⛑️
