Fallen climber
Dinner
was interrupted by the loud howl of the pagers
going off with news of an injured climber on
Tahquitz Rock. The team was activated and as the
off-the-hill members responded, two Idyllwild
members were quickly on scene at Humber Park Bill
Blaschko and Eric Townsend put together light
packs and started up the climber's trail towards
Lunch Rock near the base of Tahquitz. About halt
way up they met up with members of the Idyllwild
Fire Department as they were carrying the injured
climber down. Bill and Eric assisted in the
carry-out, and as the rest of us arrived at
Humber they completed the carry-out. The climber
was transported to the hospital and everyone
turned around and drove home.
