“Wilderness first aid is the knowledge and ability to effectively address injuries, illnesses, or emergencies outside of modern facilities, out in the wild. Skills include knowing how to dress a wound, treat a burn or bite, or set an injured limb. These are important skills that can save your life or the lives of other outdoor enthusiasts. Learn more and be better prepared for your next hiking or backpacking adventure.”
W. S. Cooper's climbing adventures of 1904 to 1908 are set forth in this lively recollection by the man who, later in life, would persuade Calvin Coolidge to declare Glacier Bay a national monument. His month of climbing in the San Juans in 1908, with John Hubbard, is said to be one of the most productive of climbing in Colorado's history.
