About CPR Training ANd The Mountaineers

CPR is a lifesaving skill widely taught worldwide.  It is relevant to all urban, frontcountry, and backcountry activities as well as to daily life.

Among Mountaineers activities CPR is currently required only for Urban Walks leaders.  However,  leaders and participants in other Mountaineers activities may also consider taking CPR electively to improve their ability to deal with accidents such as drowning, asphyxiation, and lightning strikes.

Some Wilderness First Aid (WFA) classes include CPR whereas others do not.  (The industry standard for WFA recommends CPR but does not require it.)  Taking CPR separately can be useful for people who want to know CPR but graduated from a WFA class that did not include it.
