Summary
A solo climber took a nasty fall on Lone Pine Peak, twisting their ankle after veering into a steep gully. Initial rescue efforts were stalled by weather and terrain, forcing a nighttime intervention by the National Guard’s Blackhawk helicopter. Despite plummeting temps and lost comms, the team pulled off a daring rescue at 2:30 AM, bringing the climber and three rescuers safely back to Bishop. This harrowing ordeal underscores the lifesaving value of satellite gear in remote areas—and serves as a sobering reminder that backcountry adventures demand serious preparation. Inyo County Search and Rescue, a volunteer force, handled the operation with grit and precision. Wishing the climber a speedy recovery.
