Yes Aaron, the climbing community was done proud by all who helped.
A big thumbs up to the folks who were there first and did the right things. Together we all helped and got her out and onto the chopper within the "golden hour" of her accident.
There is no question that a fall from 60+ feet is potentially fatal, and her wounds would have been fatal if she had not received the fast and proper care that she did.
Please, everyone, take a first Aid and/or a wilderness first aid course, bring a first Aid kit with you EVERY TIME.
and though many disagree...wear a helmet.
