Alpine manual
Welcome new patrollers and hello to returning patrollers. Thank you for giving your time and effort to the CSP and the Sima patrol. Your dedication and contribution are greatly appreciated.
This manual outlines patrol aims and objectives and sets out procedures every patroller must be familiar with in order to give the best patrol performance possible. By making more of the unwritten rules and practices readily available, especially to our new members, we will be able to polish our skills.
This documentation was initially produced by Erin Deacon in 1995 and then revised by Sam Oettli in 2011 and Thimothe Lamoureux in 2017
