On Wednesday, ten of us had a great time climbing Mt. Baldy. On the way down, we came upon a climber who had just tumbled down the bowl. Though she was seriously injured, she is recovering. Here is my trip report.

Wow!
All I can say is Thank You for your help to save Natalie. It is good to know that there are still many Good Samarathans out there especially on trails. I owe you a beer.

Merry Christmas!

Sam,

You guys did a fantastic job helping that climber. Thanks for posting the TR and giving everyone a message of "Hope" on this Christmas Day.
Hope to meet you on the mountain soon.

If I were to try anything like the famous Sara pose on the Summit, they be rescuing me as well

that looks painful.

Good account, Sam. On reading some of the other descriptions, I was wondering what caused the fall in the first place. I guess it was that bloody wind. I'm glad that you all were there to help and that everything turned out ok.
