From the sounds of it they were working down the steep trail between E peak and Pinkham. If you've ever hiked through there you know why they called for more volunteers. And you know that you never want to be hanging in a basket from ropes over a couple of those ledges!!

Hats off to the rescue crew for getting EVERYONE down safe.

Hope the hiker ends up alright.
