Fairweather Posted yesterday at 05:01 AM Posted yesterday at 05:01 AM Is it just me? IMO this episode reflects very poorly on the climbing community. No broken bones? Hike the f^ck out. At a minimum, turn off your "live feed" while good people are trying to rescue you. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/washington-woman-records-mountainside-rescue/ar-AA1H3KjQ?ocid=BingNewsSerp Quote
Fairweather Posted yesterday at 05:11 AM Author Posted yesterday at 05:11 AM “It was supposed to freeze overnight and didn’t," she says, “I was just, like, standing, and then all of a sudden, the snow underneath me collapsed." Ummm, yea. Ok. And you're a guide? Quote
Bronco Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) For clarification, it's my understanding they were climbing the glacier route on Silver Star and fell in the area of Chianti Spire. I'm a mountain rescue volunteer and don't have any problem with them requesting a rescue. Falls like that can cause internal injuries that may not be apparent. Live streaming the rescue is totally inappropriate and should result in a loss of phone privileges for a minimum of two weeks and no TV after dinner. Edited 4 hours ago by Bronco 1 Quote
