Rescue in the mountains - Land Search and Rescue NZ
Update: 2024-09-23
Description
This podcast is from two interviews I did with local Land Search and Rescue team members based in Queenstown.
I spoke to Tarn Pilkington, a volunteer with Wakatipu Search and Rescue Alpine Cliff Rescue team about a rescue he was involved in when two climbers needed help on the Remarkables in poor weather.
I also spoke to Chrissy Schreiber who is a volunteer with Wakatipu Search and Rescue, about what Land Search and Rescue does, lost person behaviour, the challenges of a volunteer organisation and more.
They both tell me about their own outdoor adventures and Chrissy gives me advice for the upcoming Luxmore Grunt.
I made attempts to contact the two climbers that Tarn helped rescue, but after speaking to police and mountain clubs I was unsuccessful, so Tarn's story will have to do.
Link to a story about the rescue.
A special thanks to Johnny Franklin, General Manager Partnerships at New Zealand Land Search and Rescue for organising the interviews.
