climbers are the best people

On July 31, 2023, working with the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office, MRA deployed teams into the Castle and Conundrum Peaks area to look for the overdue hiker. As teams searched, an unrelated climber from Boulder, Colorado, told a search team they saw shoes and legs protruding from the snow while ascending the Conundrum Couloir.


Yeah just gonna leave that there and keep walking :rofl:

Yeah I mean what if he's alive and just injured.

I might have to talk to him, maybe even help.

Climber from Boulder, probably high enough that wasn't sure if it was what they saw, to paranoid to talk to police.

Went to grab pizza for lunch at work the other day and a dude was on the ground unconscious, half in the road half on the sidewalk. Hundreds of people drove/walked by and left him there. Most likely an addict sleeping off their latest score, but certainly could have been a more natural medical emergency. Key takeaway being if you ever need help from a random stranger, don't be on Casino Rd.

That movie is so close to reality yet it is what got me through the worst of my PTSD by making me laugh at the insanity of it all. When you reach the edge and in your dreams you relive all the shit that went went bad, you hear the screams and it startles you awake or you dream the station alarm is going off an you rush to get your gear on but no one else is there and the radio is silent. Then there are days like today where I am working a horse show, dealing with a rider with heat stroke, on the line with 911 relaying PT info to the incoming Paramedic unit and they make it though the crisis. Afterward a Sheriff Lieutenant walks up and says great job you earned this and presses a department challenge coin into my hand and the patient gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek that I understand why after 24 years in the field at age 66 I am still doing this.
