An injured hiker was airlifted from Gothics Mtn.http://www.thechamplainchannel.com/news/6622589/detail.html
Not surprising: it takes time to get the word out, time to mobilize and get organized, time to find the victim, and then you may have to wait for the weather or daylight for the helicoptor to fly.percious said:wow, 24 hours on the mountain before rescue. Good thing the temperatures were mild for this time of year! A lesson to all why you should have enough gear to get you through a night.

Broken ankles etc are a fairly common ice climbing injury--the victim falls and catches a crampon on the ice or something.Oldsmores said:Just goes to show you: no matter how experienced you are, sh** happens. The key is to be as prepared as possible.
