RyanTriplett Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I believe there was an accident at Smith this past weekend, however I know no details. We say the medics come in with lights and all. Then on Sunday my wife overheard peeps saying it was on the Monkey Face, though she did not catch a route name. Anyone know what is up? Quote
Chriznitch Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 there was a river rescue drill on Saturday. It was on the west side below the mansions. Could this have been it? Quote
iain Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 There were people paged out from deschutes county for an accident at smith so I think it was an actual accident. The river rescue unit was also paged out. No details. Quote
Chriznitch Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 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. Quote
