Incident at Tuck's yesterday

gram · Apr 10, 2008

We arrived at Hermit Lake just as someone was being evacuated by snowmobile and sled. Evidently he had been hit by a chunk of ice near lunch rocks.

I wonder if anyone saw something in the local papers this morning? The injury didn't appear to be life threatening, but I'd like to know if he's ok.

Thanks in advance.

The incident is mentioned in the avy report but no further details are given.

Here's a link to the Berlin Reporter (this site is free) 2nd story down.

I hope this guy is going to be ok. Even with a helmet on, getting hit by a chuck of ice like the ones I was watching roll down the ravine this past weekend will do a lot of damage. Climb early now and stay alert to what is above you as well as every other direction.

Here's a link for an update from the Berlin Daily Sun. Once again, its the 2nd story down the page.
