[pct-l] Southern Sierra Airlift ?

[Jim & Jane Moody]

That might have been Calorie being airlifted above Onion Valley. It was 14 June 2010. Here is a link to the journal description of what happened.

Earlier today, I came across a photo of an avalanche rescue underway, with 
a patient being airlifted in a basket onto a hovering helicopter. If memory 
serves me correctly, the person had broken their leg- per the quote. 

I can't remember whether it was posted at Trail Journals, Postholer, or 
Vermilion Valley Resort's website... but I saw it with my own two eyes.

In the above link- a 63 year old male hiker was killed on the Mountaineer's 
Route of Mt Whitney, on 24 April, and a 21 year old female hiker (?) fell 
into the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River, on 23 April, and was swept away, 
drowning.
