Hell of a job by Aspen’s Mountain Rescue Team and the Colorado National Guard to hoist this injured climber off North Maroon Peak. Two good Samaritans helped the injured climber until the cavalry came:
“Two very good Samaritans stopped to help an injured climber on North Maroon and were kind enough to send us this video of our Hoist Rescue Technicians and HAATS Blackhawk preparing to hoist him to safety. They say they have more!”
According to CBS Denver the climber is recovering and going to be okay:
