Rad Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Wow. Lucky to survive that one. Looks like a very quick rescue by the NPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bargainhunter Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Wonder if they had a sense that the snow was soft on the approach to the lower Nooksak Tower, BEFORE turning back from soft snow that dropped down to the Price Glacier? I could see anyone descending from the Tower late in the afternoon after the rappels to feel relieved to be back on the snowfield and just want to power down back to camp or car, unaware or too tired to care about the avalanche danger, and getting hit by a similar slide. Man, those guys were lucky. That's a long way to get dragged. Could have been much worse. Sobering example of spring slide potential. Thanks for posting!

Kameron Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Definitely lucky, although it seems the decision to bail was the correct one. Thanks for the share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the NPS doesn't charge for rescues, so medical bills plus lost/broken gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
