Ouch! We hope the two hikers are healing comfortably from their injuries. Please be careful if you are adventuring outside during the winter season, wear winter shoes to prevent from slipping on icy areas. Great work to the North Shore Rescue team for their compassionate rescue and as always, please be safe out there, everyone!
