Five Helicopters Rescue Woman on The Sierra Mountains
It took five helicopters to rescue a solo climber who injured her leg while out on the summit of Mt. Williamson in the Sierra Mountains, where she lost her backpack and disastrous weather started rolling in while awaiting SAR teams to rescue her.
The Inyo County Sheriff’s Department’s Search and Rescue team, which coordinated the long and harrowing extraction, did not name the woman in a Facebook post on Monday, or provide a cost estimate of the rescue — which involved five helicopters and took two days. Read more here
Thank you to ICSAR and other teams for a miraculous rescue of the climber. We hope she is recovering well. As always, please be safe out there, everyone!
