SALT LAKE CITY — Search and rescue teams have conducted multiple missions this month as temperatures continue to rise and hikers continue to seek cooler temperatures.
A helicopter lifts a hiker to safety July 13 at Little Cottonwood Canyon's Pentapitch climbing route. Another similar rescue on Thursday involved an injured climber on the Pentapitch climbing route in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The climber took a lead fall on the fourth or fifth pitch, breaking his lower leg bones. The injured climber's partner immediately lowered him and nearby climbers assisted by helping splint the injured leg.
On July 7, search and rescue teams were dispatched to assist a lost hiker near the summit of Mt Olympus. After summiting, the hiker mistakenly descended into upper Hughes Canyon, where they soon realized the mistake and contacted search and rescue for help. The two teams staged the liquids at various locations along the trail and "other hikers with questionable hiking plans were consequently supplied with water and Sportdrink," the post added.
While cell phones can be helpful, be aware that cell phone coverage can be sporadic, at best, in the backcountry.
