plumbbob Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Our State trooper dispatch in Juneau received a sat phone call a short time ago from someone named Barry Mason(?) The call was cut off before we got much information. He was requesting medical assistance for stranded climbers near Ania Peak. This appears to be just north of Mt. Logan. Anyone know who this might be? Please reply here or call AST Dispatch in Juneau @ 907 465-4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbbob Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Parks Canada is taking care of this. Info is that group is trapped above 18,000 feet. Bad weather, lost tent several days ago. Hypothermia and frostbite. Helo's can't fly due to weather and park service is trying to contact other groups in area to attempt locating group to assist.

sobo Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 That was Perry Mason, you foo, And if you don't act fast he'll sue. Â DeC, that might be funny if the situation wasn't what it appears to be: folks in deep trouble and not looking good for a pick-off anytime soon. Your comments appear a tad crass at this time, IMO.

Dechristo Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I understand that you're concerned for those in trouble and stranded; pray as you are led for them. Â I am crass and am fully aware of it. My perception of the world being thoroughly vulgar and thoroughly beautiful simultaneously precludes normally the appetite for delicacy, decorum, and discrimination. However, I do not endeavor to offend; if you've taken offense, please forgive me. Â Take note of the difference in our signatures: I don't presume the opportunity extends beyond today to "be an asshole". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 AINA (not Ania) Peak stands for "Arctic Institute of North America", it is one of the lower, north summits of the Logan massif. Â Good luck to the rescue crew and to the victims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
