Archuleta County Office of Emergency Management, along with Upper San Juan Search and Rescue and Pagosa Fire Protection District personnel, took part in a practice rope rescue on Aug. 24. The technique, specifically called the Norwegian Reeve rigging component, allows rescuers to be lowered and raised to the carriage system like a rope elevator.
