Pat sits amongst her sherpas, sporting a makeshift splint (red) and litter (yellow), while talking with Brian (from "Search and Rescue"), who meets us near the trailhead. Pat broke her leg on the way down and her companions Diane and Jayne (both nurses) provide wilderness first aid. Six of us (we are joined by another hiker, Ellen) carry Pat 2.5 miles down the mountain. For more details, see the Mountain Rescue report. |
