Waterfalls. Rope systems. Steep terrain. Teamwork.

Last weekend, Monterey County Search & Rescue volunteers trained in Kirk Creek to develop and maintain the specialized canyoneering skills needed for rescues in some of the county’s most challenging environments.

When emergencies happen beyond the trail, our volunteers need to be ready to go where others can’t.

This is why we train.

Last Saturday, our team trained along the rugged Big Sur coastline, sharpening critical high-angle rope rescue skills in one of the most challenging environments we serve. From steep cliffs to unpredictable conditions, these scenarios demand precision, teamwork, and constant training to stay mission-ready.

Our volunteers dedicate countless hours to ensure we can respond when it matters most—but we can’t do it alone. We currently have pressing needs for updated equipment, uniforms, and continued training to keep our team safe and effective in the field.
