ketch Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I was on Baker today (trip report to come later) About the time I was getting back to camp the rescue chopper showed up and I would sware he landed on the summit. About 40 min or so later the Coasties showed up and were searching up and down the Easton and Demming. When I was coming down I crossed paths with a 5 person and two 4 person groups on the Easton, and a 4 and a 2 that had come up CD but the Roman headwall is getting pretty ugly so we all traversed to finish via the Easton. I only saw the 4 person rope come back down the CD. Does anyone know about what the action was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savaiusini Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 no, but I'm curious too. a few of us will be heading up the Easton on Saturday...inquiring minds want to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerbinger Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 A man had a heart attack about 4/5 of the way up roman wall about 15 min from the summit. I assumed they got him out of there, we had to pass him on the way down from the summit after doing hte coleman-deming route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ketch Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 BB, Thanks for the info. I think I talked to the man on the way up. Were you in that four man team or the couple that was not far behind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
