EISPIRATEN

This was on the San Gorgonio Wilderness forum:

Summited Baldy via the Bowl today (11-27-10). Arrived at 11:00am and ran across SAR on the Sierra Hut Trail. A middle aged man had a stroke and fell off the trail below the Hut. Unfortunately he did not survive. A group of hikers who witnessed the fall administered CPR for an hour until SAR arrived. They air lifted the guy out. My thoughts go to his girlfriend who was with him at the time & his family & friends.

Amen!

CaveRescue tweeted that they were on a second mission at the Ski Hut yesterday http://twitter.com/CaveRescue

There was another incident on Friday when two hikers got lost on Baldy and spent the night http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?secti ... id=7812824

I was there yesterday and came across the scene not more than an hour after it happened. We were stopped along the trail as they prepared the body to be airlifted out. Sad day, my condolences to the family.
