Pine Creek Sar Photos

[Bo_Beck]

For those that may be interested I have posted a few pictures of the Pine Creek SAR on Aug 15 showing the Reeve in conjunction with a high line. Photos were taken from the Tunnel Window and show the lower and raise to a more or less degree.

Nice pictures. That really puts the height in perspective. Good work!

I actually didn't take the photos. Tom Haraden, the park information liason took all the photos. I was in the first photo riding the litter down to thread the slot. Glad you all could enjoy seeing the photos that Tom took

Well then thanks to Tom for taking the pics and to you for sharing them

Nice shots! I have some pictures from the bottom of this SAR. I'll figure out how to post them. I can't figure it out- if you want them, I'll email them and you can post them.

Is this from an actual rescue, or training?

Its from a rescue recently in Pine Creek. The fellow in the litter is a member on this forum. He has posted on Pine Creek SAR in this canyoneering topic list. He is doing well I think and very fortunately wasn't injured too badly. Our team had done a replica training at this exact location a few years ago so when the "real mccoy" happened a couple weeks ago we pretty much had it 'sussed'. I made one mistake though (not critical); If you look at the red strap that connects the litter to the "carriage" near the highline. When I rigged this carriage system, I should have made the strap much shorter and it would have been much easier to haul the litter, and patient through the tunnel window.

I think riding in one of those baskets would give me a heart attack.

I think Tom H. should try a ride in a litter. It would give the man a whole new perspective! (Super nice guy!!!!)

Wow, that's pretty cool. Amazing rescue. Can't believe you guys shot the line through the window first try. Them line guns must be pretty accurate.

So...we were chattin' about this a tad at dinner the other day...

Couldn't have 6 folks carried a litter out the bottom of the canyon? I know its rough terrain, but, wouldn't that have worked in the dark? Might have takin' four hours, but?

Had the rescue been more time critical, what would the options have been? Carry to a location where a helicopter could long line the victim out?

Great looking rigging!

Cheers,
