North Shore SAR says no path exists from Mount Fromme to Kennedy Falls, has told Google to remove
A B.C. search and rescue had to navigate through low light and cloud cover to rescue a hiker off a cliffside north of Vancouver late Saturday afternoon , after the man appeared to have followed a non-existent Google Maps trail.
In the end, crews were dropped about 100 metres below where they believed the hiker was stranded. They worked their way up the cliffside to the hiker, got him in a harness and lowered him back down to where the helicopter could retrieve him. North Shore SAR says they extracted the man just in time before the clouds became too thick to safely fly.
The groups says proof of the area’s danger was made evident in May 2021 when a hiker went missing and was later found dead.
