Mount Pilchuck Search and Rescue

Well my plans to go on a hike to Greider Lakes was foiled by a call to go out on a search and rescue mission. We went up to Mount Pilchuck to pack out an injured hiker at about 8:00 pm Friday night. Ended up escorting his 2 uninjured buddies down at about midnight. Went back up to the injured hiker with hypothermic gear and stayed the night on the mountain and waited till first light for a helicopter rescue.

Here is an article about it.
