This is not just. The rescuer spent several hours with the fallen climber, including building an anchor to secure the victim to the ledge he was on. He waited until SAR arrived to take the injured climber away. After it was all over with, he was issued a citation for interfering with the rescue! How about using a little discretion here?

I agree with SLR......grew up climbing in the gorge.....those S&R guys while having good intentions, really need much better training. That climber did them a favor.
