vertical_hiker Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Hey any climbers who lives in or near Colorado, we need you guys to hall your butts up to Alamosa County @ Mt. Blanco above Little Bear lake for help in search and rescue of my friend Lygon Stevens. She is trapped and not found. She and her brother were caught in an avalanche yesterday (Thursday 1-10-08) where it pushed him off a cliff 600ft. and managed to survive until the next morning getting flown out to the hospital, but they are looking for her. Her Dad and her boyfriend are up there now, and some of our friends as well, but we need all the search we can get. We have hopes, but we need any climber to go up there. Tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be really good, and maybe the only chance she has to survive. She's only 20, and she and her brother climbed Denali last May with me and our team. Please anyone. Her are some links below for your information, and it's all over the news. The press is there already and so it won't be hard to find. Edited September 18, 2023 by vertical_hiker hide info Quote

pindude Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Charleton, Other popular climbing discussion forums--frequented by CO climbers--that you may want to post at: RockClimbing.com MountainProject.com Supertopo.com Not sure what other hiking- or climbing-related discussion forums may exist specifically for Colorado...anybody else? My best to you. I'm praying for a good outcome for Lygon. Quote
