Climber Rescued on North Six Shooter Peak After Hanging Upside Down For Hours

Excellent work to the SAR teams for coming to rescue the climber. We hope he recovers well from his injuries. I can't imagine being stuck on a mountain or canyon for hours, but I'm glad to hear the man was rescued safely. As always, please be safe out there!
