chris Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Anyone we know up on Mt Stuart this weekend? Because it looks like someone needs a rescue today: http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2013/07/climber-seriously-injured-on-mount-stuart/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemarker Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Jesus. "May have broken both arms and legs." Hope he's plucked out of there soon and safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 This is terrible. There were four groups of us climbing the north ridge yesterday. My partner and I were the ascending longs pass when we looked at the south face of stuart and saw headlamps in both Ulrich's and the Cascadian. We thought we were just sleep deprived when we saw a headlamp moving way too fast down ulrichs... Most importantly hope the climber and group makes it out safe. Best wishes.

kevino Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sounds like he made it out via helicopter, but not much else known at this point. http://pro.kpq-am.tritonflex.com/common/more.php?m=15&r=1&item_id=2271 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yikes! We were out there Saturday and missed the crowds and excitement. I hope he's OK. The only place you could fall any distance on the CAscadian is right at the top gaining the snow or on the upper snow section. Maybe he was in Ulrich's as kevino's observation suggests. Again, hope he's OK. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostCamKenny Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Any updates on this? Anyone hear anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Shumaker Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Nighttime, hard snow, no crampons, ice axe sheered through snow. He slid a few hundred feet in the upper part of the cascadian couloir route into some talus. Helicopter rescue. Damage to limbs, but stable, no head or spine injuries. Did y'all make it out alright Kenny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
