Last week, Mappy Hour Denver gathered at The North Face Cherry Creek to learn wilderness medicine and risk management from NOLS. The very talented instructor, Denani Schmitt, informed members on how to evaluate an accident, clean a cut and splint a break in the backcountry. An additional thank you goes to our beer sponsor: Crazy Mountain Brewing.
A few key tips from Denani:
