SARGENT'S PURCHASE — On Tuesday at approximately 3 p.m., NH Fish and Game received a 911 call about an injured hiker on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail near the Tuckerman Junction approximately half-mile from the summit of Mount Washington. The hiker identified as Andrew Nelson, 18, of Topsfield, Mass., had suffered a lower-leg injury and could not bear weight on the injured leg. A rescue response from Fish and Game conservation officers and Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue was initiated.
Nelson was hiking with eight other friends and while awaiting response from the rescue crew, he attempted to make his way back towards the summit. Nelson, with occasional assistance from his hiking companions, hopped, crawled, and otherwise used sheer grit and determination to continue moving back up Tuckerman Ravine Trail towards the summit of Mount Washington.
