Inyo SAR Incident 11/28 Mt.Whitney

Post by maverick »

Inyo Co Sheriff's Dept:
H-80 on scene near the Mount Whitney Trail at 13,400’ with Inyo County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue. Crews were able to successfully locate, contact, and rescue hikers stranded in the area. Successful completion of high altitude SAR operations are the result of hours of pilot, flight officer, and SAR member training.

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.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org
