Climber Rescued After Hanging On To Glacier Near Mount Shasta
A climber was rescued by the Mount Shasta SAR team after getting lost from a group while the individual was climbing up the summit of Mount Shasta and held onto a glacier for about 12 hours until the SAR team came to the rescue.
The lost climber only had an open bivouac to spend the night on the Whitney Glacier, Mount Shasta's permanent ice and snow cover. The emergency cover with breathing holes had to withstand the frigid temperatures and light rain overnight at 11,600 feet. Read more here
Great work to the SAR team up in Mt. Shasta for saving this climber's life. I can't imagine being stuck on a mountain or even hanging on a glacier for dear life for 12 hours. Please be safe out there!
