Abstract
Most mountain climbers had no formal wilderness medicine training and did worse on the medical knowledge assessment than those who did have training. Consistent with previous studies, participants performed poorly on the medical knowledge assessment. As such, ways to improve wilderness medical knowledge among outdoor recreationalists should be sought. The low rate of helmet use on Colorado's technical peaks represents an important area for education and injury prevention.
