BES provides technical rope rescue services for victims stranded or injured in high-angle environments — cliff faces, canyons, steep terrain, and confined spaces. Our team is trained to NFPA 1006 standards and utilizes state-of-the-art rigging systems.
We respond to incidents across Boulder County and mutual-aid requests from neighboring jurisdictions, working closely with the Sheriff's Search and Rescue team and fire agencies.
