StreetBoss Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Would anyone have any further information on this accident yesterday May 31st? http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Mountain-rescue-teams-reach-climbers-in-the-6299005.php Let's be safe out there.. Quote
montypiton Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) a gal fell on the third pitch of the regular route, ripped a cam, ledged out, and broke both legs. Chelan County Mountain Rescue Association volunteers staging at the Leavenworth Fish Hatchery for a rescue on Serpentine Arete on Dragontail were redirected to the Careno Crag mission. Thanks to the fortuitous positioning of rescue climbers and medics, the rescue was accomplished in less than two hours. The Lady was airlifted to Seattle (Harborview, I presume, but I haven't confirmed that). A mission report and photos can be found on the CCMRA Facebook page. -Curt Haire, Chelan County Mountain Rescue Association Edited June 3, 2015 by montypiton Quote
jgr Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Correction She broke one leg two ribs and went to Wenatchee. She will be on the mend for some time, but will be OK. Quote
