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 :shock: :lol: 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.
