Helicopter Rescue, Adirondack High Peaks

This post was updated on .
Hiker medevac'd off Gothics in the Adirondacks after falling 10 feet.  "Descending the slides near the trail" makes it seem like he was bushwhacking, although the writer wasn't explicit about this.  From Gothics down to Ore Bed is a steep and exposed trail.  Moral of the story:  make sure that tree you grab is anchored to the ground.
