Welcome

The outdoors rewards those who prepare

Mountains, cliffs, coastlines and remote routes require careful preparation and an understanding of changing conditions. Weather, visibility, terrain, fatigue, tides and access to communication can all affect the safety of an outdoor activity.

This website provides accessible information about the association and general topics related to outdoor safety, emergency preparedness and responsible participation. Please contact the association directly to confirm its current operational role, services and participation opportunities.
