Any chance he's still up there waiting for a litter crew to arrive?

An airlift from Galehead and a carry-down from OBP. http://www.theunionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=Rescue+teams+help+hikers+off+trails&articleId=73f6fc96-1f91-44bb-a174-40b7549f5287

I purchased a pair of Limmer Standards in the spring of 2002. The day I was up in Intervale Peter Limmer was manning the shop. He really new his stuff. He looked at me and my feet, grabbed a pair of boots and nailed my size. He had me kicking the wall of the place to ensure that my heals...

Excellent trip report and photos. Sounds like a rewarding journey.

Did any children ever offer you hotdogs and beans conveniently stored in their flashlights? Actually, I do not have children, but I am finding this discussion pretty informative. I do believe that anyone carrying a baby/child could take a spill anywhere and accidently injure themselves and child.

That is excellent. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos.

Hang in there Pete. Thanks for the detailed trip reports.

Talk about dumb luck making that wrong turn and ending up at Bamforth Shelter. Not simply as cover from precipitation, which wasn't a factor in this case, but as a landmark to relay their position. Seriously. How much more unprepared could one party be?

Perhaps my auto-signature will include the following: DISCLAIMER: My advice may result in injury or death Concise and accurate.

Paper read. Cover to back. Or online, if you prefer Then to Views, to post updates of adventures I have taken Hiking no. Stuck in the office, Simply reading the days news.

Thank you for the detective work and excellent, albeit saddening, photo. Certainly demonstrates a cruel reality.

Generally speaking though, responsible hikers/climbers who enter and exit the wilderness without incident, are judged and held accountable by themselves (and their respective parties). When an incident/accident occurs, hikers/climbers should be judged and held accountable by those whom they are...

My thoughts exactly. I think folks who sue sometimes forget that whom or whatever they are suing does not necessarily have to stick around. If SAR is going to become a target of lawsuits, the organizations, many of which are either run by municipalities or volunteers, will simply stop...
