Dear Rescue-Team with Claude as the leader!
With the rupture of my meniscus it was not possible to get back to "civilization" by myself. Thank you so much for your great help a few days ago!
With best regards,
Bernhard

THE TEAM
Kalymnos, the famous climbing destination, which everybody visits over and over again, had been watched over by a bunch of people who lived on the island and offered their help voluntarily in climbing accidents. In 2013, Kalymnos Rescue Team was formed by many of these people among many more, in order to cover, voluntarily, as better as they can every climbing accident that might occur on the island.
Main duties
Our main purpose is to aid in any accident concerning climbing or other activities that take place on land and in rough areas that medical care cannot reach easily, as in trekking paths around the island.
To achieve that, the team has directed it’s training into three basic fields: 1) climbing skills 2) rescue techniques 3) first aid skills.
Other goals
- To promote and cultivate the aspects of mountaineering and climbing into the local community
- To support the touristic product of Kalymnos by offering safety in climbing, the sport that constitutes the main source of tourism on the island
- To offer valuable help and information on safety matters, concerning the development of climbing in Kalymnos
- To keep training new people into climbing, rescue and team work, in order to enhance the team’s dynamics
- To promote team work as well as personal evolvement, on a mental and physical basis
- To exchange knowledge with other rescue groups in Greece and abroad, in order to enhance our experience. Group rescue exercises with other Rescue Organizations are a very important way for the Team to evolve.
- To create and maintain an ecological conscience among the local community and to our visitors
History
Before 2013, rescue in Kalymnos was performed by individuals that lived on the island, as a personal offer. At the same time, there also were some attempts to create something more organized, like a first aid seminar by the Prefecture of Kalymnos and the Greek Cardiological Society, along with a climbing course to some locals from Aris theodoropoulos. The first Rescue Team was then formed, its members were financially supported by the Prefecture and they were assisted by those who were already doing the job (Claude Idoux, Simon Montmory, Loucas Dourdourekas, etc). The funding lasted for 6 months and that was the life span of that attempt. Additionally, there was a fund by Glaros Bar, together with Claude Idoux, local opener and the Team’s vice-President now, to raise money for rescue equipment.
In 2013 Alexandros Istatkof, a local climber and the Team’s President at the moment, together with Kalliope Tsagari, owner of Alternet, active in the tourism industry, had the idea to create an organized group of volunteers, in a form of an association, who will be trained to be rescuers. This came as a necessity, as there is no official state body in Kalymnos that can cover climbing accidents and a rescue from the climbing sectors is beyond the skills of the medical crew of the Kalymnos Hospital.
Kalliope Tsagari supported ethically and financially the formation of the Team in its first steps, by covering any expenses needed and by creating the Alternet Rescue Card, a card that offered discounts in various businesses in Kalymnos while gathering money for the Rescue Team, as a standard percentage of each card went to the Team’s budget.
The idea of a Rescue Team in Kalymnos was instantly adopted also by another businesswoman in Kalymnos, Sofia Lagoudi, owner of Wildsport climbing shop. Wildsport became the basic sponsor of the team in terms of rescue equipment, as all the technical gear used in trainings and in actual rescue, were offered by Mrs Lagoudi.
Consequently, Kalymnos Rescue Team was founded, counting 20 other local people who believed in this project and became founding members.
Presently, the Team consists of 25 people, climbers and non-climbers and within it, a sub-team, the technical crew, with trained members in rope rescue techniques and first aid.

The Team is divided into two sub groups…
Simple volunteers
They aid in any way they can in a rescue, or in the Team organization aspects.
Technical team
Trained members in rescue and first aid. This team consists of very experienced climbers and mountaineers but also of inexperienced members that found in the Rescue Team a really good motivation to evolve their climbing skills and keep training to reach a good level. The technical team tries to train constantly, to add experience in its dynamics, and our goal is to learn from the best in the Rescue field, like Organizations in countries with great mountaineering history and high mountains.

RESCUE OPERATIONS
-
IN CASE OF...
The Team operates from sunrise to sunset, in order to assure the rescuers’ personal safety.
The best way for somebody to find us in case of emergency, is to call 112 the European emergency number, without charge and with network coverage all over the island, and ask to be connected to the Hospital of Kalymnos. The hospital calls directly us and we get to the place of the accident.
It is extremely important for everyone to know that we arrive faster and better prepared if when you call for help you specify some simple things, like:
- Your name and place you are at, sector, route, village, trekking path from…to…
- What happened, where is the injury, is the person conscious or not, is the person hanging, on the ground or at some cave above/below the ground
- Are there multiple people injured?
- How long has it been since the accident
All this information can help us prepare correctly for the rescue, as in many cases we need to use rope techniques to approach and carry the casualty.
Caution: Do not try to move or interfere with the casualty for no reason, as you might cause worse damage and also you make our first aid assessment more difficult. Leave the first aid practice only for those who are trained to do so.

Since we are not professionals, thus not paid for our services, we have to set aside our personal activities and some of us even jobs, and run to help when needed. That’s why we need a lot of volunteers!!

Rock came out from the route, hit belayer The team dealed with an accident that we feared it would come sooner or later, thankfully it didn’t have the worst ending. In the route “Memories of Dorothy” a big rock from the route, that a climber was holding to make the move, came off and fell on to the belayer. The helmet took all the blow and her shoulder was injured.
The Team has consistently noted that openers should clean properly their routes and that the urge to open 10 or more routes in one week, for example, usually leads to clumsy cleaning of the routes.
We thank all the people that helped with the rescue, like mr Zoidis, especially our boatman Pavlos Karafyllakis that offered his services for free and took us there in no time.
We hope Emmanuelle will recover quickly from her injuries.

Five not so experienced members of the Team received a basic training to be able to climb in a sport or traditional route, to deal with simple but significant matters of safety and simple mountaineering gear. This course was considered obligatory in order to bring members with different levels of experience in a common baseline to be trained as rescuers. The fees for this course were covered by a fund raised by “The Send” team, a British initiative who create and sell digital topos of climbing routes and raise funds for the local communities.

By Bill Batson and Mark Davies, crew of Lyon Equipment, UK. Bill Batson (Lyon Equipment Training Manager and rescue specialist). Mark Davies (Lyon Equipment Trainer and Consultant).
This second training was the formalization of the Team’s collaboration with Wildsport, as their sponsor, as all the equipment used in the training and later at rescue was offered by this business. Also this project had the support of Petzl Foundation, who recognized the necessity of a trained team in Kalymnos, so they invited Lyon Equipment to train 6 of our members, forming the first core of the “technical” team inside the Rescue Team. This training was again supported by Alternet (Kalliopi Tsagari) who provided the accommodation and the car for free to the instructors, food to all the participants, and all the other expenses of the course e.g. the cost of the sea transfers.
