underworld Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 was over at rattletale and heard the sirens at about 12:30... drove over there after we got down, to get on the lower wall and there was a line of emergency vehicles and they flagged us on as tho we couldn't go in. we parked on the road and watch the helicopter. freaking awesome heli pilots!! dude got lifted out at about 2:30. word on the ground, fwiw, was that he took a 30 ft ledge fall and ribs/lung injury. who knows. long and short - the helicopter to the rescue. hope everyone is as ok as you can be in a helicopter. sucks to be underneath it all and not knowing if it is someone you know. good luck to all!!!

DRep Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 He was climbing Gorilla my Dreams on the Winkie Dinkie cliff, decking while trying to clip the first bolt 30' off the deck. He broke his femur, collapsed a lung, and some pretty bad back injuries. He was conscious the entire time. It turns out he was climbing with a buddy of mine (total surprise). He was evacuated within 2 hours of the accident by helicopter to a Seattle hospitalfrom the slab above the black wall. There was a few of us climbers who helped the fire fighters and EMTs haul gear and rig the hauling system. It sounds like the climber will be OK! Special thanks to the Index, Sultan, Gold Bar, and Monroe Fire Rescue, as well as the Snohomish County Sheriff's Department for a fast efficient and safe rescue!
