    Champney Falls Fall

    I helped carry him out. He fell from the top of Pitcher Falls. Kudos to a guide named Kayla who happened to be on the trail with a large group. She placed a plastic sheet and a jacket over him which kept him warm until help arrived. He was partially in the stream water where he landed, and...
