Re: Body to remain on Capitol
Yeah, there was another thread on this one. "Successful SAR on El Diente" glad that guy made it out okay. Condolences to the family of the man who fell off the knife edge on Capitol. I really don't think pretty much anyone can recover his body where he fell at and it's better that everyone on the SAR team remain safe.Mountainsroam_2012 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 7:18 pm Ya man that is a bad place for a body recovery..

Re: Body to remain on Capitol
Sad but understandable given the risks of recovery.
Was there ever an update on the condition of the SAR member who was most seriously injured in the rockfall? I hope they are all doing ok.
