apparently it wasn't a drill... Injured climber rescued at Smith Rock From Bend.com news sources Posted: Saturday, September 18, 2004 11:27 PM Reference Code: AR-18040 September 18 - TERREBONNE – An injured climber was rescued Saturday from the base of Monkey Face at Smith Rock State Park and taken to a Redmond hospital for treatment, Deschutes County sheriff’s officers said. Deschutes County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue responded to the park around 1:45 p.m. to assist Redmond Fire medics with Mark Kent, 42, said sheriff’s Sgt. Shane Nelson. The Redmond Fire crew treated the patient and prepared him for transport. With the help of Search and Rescue, Kent was brought down the climbing trail on a wheeled litter, then transported across the Crooked River by raft to a waiting Redmond ambulance, which took him to St. Charles Medical Center-Redmond, Nelson said. Ten Search and Rescue volunteers took part in the incident. A nursing supervisor said Kent was not admitted to the hospital.

there was a river rescue drill on Saturday. It was on the west side below the mansions. Could this have been it?

yep--I'm in Corvallis too. Mostly interested in Alpine stuff. Got school resuming in a week, but I hope to get in a couple more climbs before december. hood north face & stuart would be nice...

I love "Little Steven's Garage". He says it's all about the Ramones. Bands that inspired them, bands inspired by them... And of course he always plays the Ramones. Definitely the best 3 chord songs ever

well put crutch. It was a kinda weird way to get involved, but welcome to cc.com

yeah, I love the "virtual tours" I've got of various summits. I also splurged for the 256mb card, so it will hold a couple hundred top quality pics (or a couple thousand low qual), or prolly a half hour of video

there are some great ones in domelands, at "church dome"... -pope on a rope -pew's views -church's fried chicken heads -vatican porn

Cool pics. not unlike eastern Oregon, except we don't have rams

"risk mitigation" baby! Obviously, the danger of the sport is what appeals to me (and most others). Who am I foolin'? However, FOH is a great mitigation tool and lifelong reference...

go out with a friend or two and practice snow stuff like axe use, crampons, roped team travel, glacier rescue and then add your trad rock skillz to do something cool. I don't know WA too well, but don't peaks like Dome, Eldorado, Shuksan offer a variety of mild terrain types?

I saw him in todays paper. Some guy protesting fathers' rights to see their kids...Climbed up Buckingham palace right past the guards. Obviously a climber from cc.com http://www.cnn.com/virtual/editions/europe/2000/roof/change.pop/frameset.exclude.html

!bueno! Always nice to see a new spot

the south side already feels like a ski resort. Might as well have a good place to get beer & pizza

for those who have climbed either gully in the fall (Sept-Dec), what conditions did you have?

I believe humans play a minor role that is combined with weather cycles and patterns... However, if you have an SUV or truck only for groceries, you should definitely think about what you're doing

the other 1/4 is in my margarita
