Stranded climbers calling for help
At 1330 hrs.
on Thursday we received a call from the Hemet
office of the Riverside County Sheriff's
Department that calls for help had been heard up
on Tahquitz Rock. The pager system was activated,
and soon after RMRU members were rolling towards
Idyllwild. Just as members were nearing Humber
Park (base camp). The climbers, who had
apparently been stranded received help from
another climber who probably heard the cries of
distress. The unidentified man lowered a rope to
three men below and then belayed each one up to
the top. With that the mission was called Off.
