A climber on Golden Ears Mountain suffered a 70-metre fall on Sunday afternoon, but she and her partner both survived their ordeal, after being lifted off the mountainside by helicopters.The couple, approximately in their late 20s, had reached the summit of the popular peak in Golden Ears Provincial Park, near Maple Ridge. The seasoned outdoor adventurers chose to spent the night on the mountain. They were making their way down just before noon when the woman fell.
“If she had slipped further, it could have ended up quite tragic,” said Laing. “She knew the predicament she was in.” RMSAR summoned Talon Helicopters as well as Coquitlam SAR to respond as part of the regional specialty team that performs long-line rescues. BC Air Ambulance, as well as an ambulance and paramedic supervisor, were on the ground at West Canyon Command waiting for the arrival of the subject. Talon Helicopters brought rescuers and subjects back, where the fall victim was examined and transferred to Air Ambulance for the flight out to the hospital.
