Two Minutes and Forty Seconds.

Abstract

Environmental Writing and Great Lakes LiteratureThree weeks ago, as I was about to practice rescuing a climber from the high ropes course for the first time, our High Adventure Certifying Instructor looked up at me and said, “You have seven minutes before they lose feeling in their legs. You have three minutes to get from where you are to get them on the ground. But watch yourself, don’t make two victims.”http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/78456/1/Dion_Elisabeth_2010.pd
