We were descending the Cascadian Couloir route and also saw the helicopter circle over the summit perhaps a dozen times. Apparently a man suffering from altitude sickness was rescued:

I'm climbing Coleman-Deming this weekend, with a planned camp betweem 6,000-7,200 feet. Do you know if the camp will be rock or snow now? Any water above 6,000 feet?
Thanks!
