Our personnel have just cleared Auxier Ridge after assisting @pocosar2013 with a hiker suffering heat exhaustion along the trail. Initial reports suggested heat stroke, which is deadly, extremely time sensitive, and extremely difficult to manage in an environment like Auxier Ridge. We're very glad that the patient's actual condition was far less critical, and that after rest, rehydration, and electrolyte replacement, the patient was able to walk out under his own power accompanied by the rescue team.

Long night for our team, completing a 6 hour high angle operation for a patient who suffered spine, pelvic, and environmental injuries after a 50+ foot fall from a cliff in the Auxier Ridge area. See our Facebook page for complete details.

At approximately 4:45 p.m. yesterday, our personnel responded to a report of an unconscious, unresponsive individual atop Auxier Ridge, in the vicinity of Courthouse Rock.
