Bear Creek Spire Rescue - Aug 12 - from Inyo County Sheriff's Office - Facebook
Inyo County Sheriff's Office
22 hrs ·
Bear Creek Spire SAR:
On the afternoon of August 12th a climber took a tumbling fall while descending on talus from Bear Creek Spire. Pain in his left leg, hip, and sensitivity in his spine left him unable to continue. His climbing partner left him with supplies and hiked out to the Mosquito Flat trailhead, then drove to Tom's Place in order to call 911.
Inyo County Sheriff’s Dispatch received the call and was able to work with our SAR Coordinator to request CHP – Central Division Air Operations H-40 out of Fresno. Due to nightfall H-40 was unable to complete the hoist. Two members of Inyo SAR were inserted nearby and hiked to the subject to provide him with overnight equipment and assess his injuries.
At first light on August 13th, H-40 flew over and Inyo SAR and CHP successfully hoisted the subject who was taken to Mammoth for medical treatment. A big “thank you” goes out to H-40 for your assistance!

BREAKING NEWS!!! Members of the Ascend team made an attempt on Mt. Noshaq, the highest peak in Afghanistan, and succeeded in having the first Afghan woman reach the summit!

Standing at 24,580 ft. in the Hindu Kush, Noshaq had never before been climbed by an Afghan woman. (For reference, Mt. Everest is 29,000 ft!)
This has been a summit Ascend has been dreaming of and striving toward since its inception 3 years ago. We are so proud of the team's accomplishment and their journey to it. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible, which includes hundreds of people across all 50 states and the world!
More to come - pictures, the story, and information about those involved. For now, join us in celebrating this achievement, with an awesome photo from a past expedition!
