Climber Rescued on North Six Shooter Peak After Hanging Upside Down For Hours
SAR teams rushed to rescue a climber who was found hanging upside down for four hours at North Six Shooter Peak last Sunday where he suffered a few injuries after being rescued.

Excellent work to the SAR teams for coming to rescue the climber. We hope he recovers well from his injuries. I can't imagine being stuck on a mountain or canyon for hours, but I'm glad to hear the man was rescued safely. As always, please be safe out there!
