Responsibilities include checking individuals for their wilderness permits, acting as a Law Enforcement Officer and ensuring that all rules and regs are strictly adhered to and partaking in all SAR evolutions. Many times you may be the first on scene of a very traumatic incident and you will be required to render assistance to anyone in trouble.
So, it essentially entails more than many may be up to.
It's not just going out and doing the climbing deal.
