Dan_Miller Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 From Today's Seattle Times: Two hikers rescued from Mount Baker Tuesday Two hikers were rescued on Mount Baker Tuesday after they were reported missing Sunday. By Seattle Times staff Two hikers were rescued on Mount Baker Tuesday after they were reported missing Sunday. Rescuers from the Naval Air Station on Whidbey Island rescued the pair who were at the 8,400-foot level of the mountain. One hiker had suffered a broken ankle. Despite deteriorating weather, crews were able to hoist the hikers out of the snowy weather and take them to St. Joseph's Hospital in Bellingham. Last week, crews from Whidbey Island Search and Rescue and others came to the aid of two hikers from Massachusetts who had been trapped on a ledge for three days in the North Cascades.

OlympicMtnBoy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 It's better than confusing it in the opposite direction, which they also do all the time. That last article about the Guye Peak accident actually defined "scrambling" from the mountaineers website. Quote

Choada_Boy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I think I saw there stashed approach shoes when I was up there on Monday. I wonder what they were wearing to hike the North Ridge? Quote
