I thought the article was well done...I especially enjoyed this:
A spokesperson for the Search and Rescue team did not respond to requests for comment, but in a social media post they praised the stricken climber’s courage throughout the harrowing ordeal.
“Enormous bravery and fortitude was shown by this patient, and all involved were impressed by her ability to remain calm, collected, and alive,” they wrote.
Hard to do for most...well done to her.
Then this:
With daylight running out and the storm raging, a call for help went out to the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station. Even the Navy couldn’t get directly to the stricken woman, but just before midnight, they dropped four rescue climbers at 10,500 feet — about 2,000 feet below her.
I have flown out of China Lake a lot in the past...THAT must have been sporty!
Well done to all.
