Any information you may have on a missing person, including first hand weather related information or any other insight (however little) may prove to be critical information to Law Enforcement / SAR in locating the person in question.

Thunderbolt SEKI Resucue 8-19-19

Post by swierszalowski »

Trying to get follow up on a fallen climber on Thunderbolt, 8-19-19. His friend came over Bishop Pass stating his climbing partner was unconscious after a fall. I didn't encounter this person but a group that went to locate him did. SEKI was activated at the top of the pass, confirmed by a follow up 911 call once back in service. I can find Inyo SAR reports but not SEKI. Does anyone have any info/ a good place to search?
Many thanks as the whole situation has been with me since it happened.

Well Google Earth shows Thunderbolt just inside the Fresno County line. But I'm not seeing anything on the Fresno Sheriff website/FB/Twitter. There is also CHP Inland Air Division at https://www.facebook.com/InlandDivisionAirOperations, not seeing anything there either.

Yeah I was told Kings Canyon was activated as it was on the west side of the pass. Thanks for looking. I am going to keep searching myself. I wish I had asked for the contact info of the group that left to go provide assistance.
Thanks

Usually I will receive an alert on incidents in SEKI, from SEKI, there may be a report in the following days, but haven't gotten anything yet. Will see check and see if I can get any more info Sarah.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
