Whistle Signals

A whistle is a piece of safety equipment that the club recommends all trip participants carry on all events. The sound of a whistle will travel much further than a human voice and use of a whistle does not tire your vocal chords the way shouting will. Attach the whistle to your pack with a piece of chord so it is readily available.

Make sure you pick a whistle that is loud. We recommend a pea-less whistle such as the Fox 40.

In the event you need to use your whistle the following are the standard signals used:
