A unique opportunity to write about a rescue in the mountains has occurred. All rescues in the White Mountains are unique, but this one is especially so, as I was the victim.

I was so impressed with the professionalism of the crew that brought me down from the base of Right Gully in Tuckerman Ravine that I feel motivated to write about the event so people know a little more about their work, and the cooperation that occurs in Tuckerman Ravine in the spring. We hear about accidents but less about the activity of those charged with getting victims out safely.
