Rescue on the Red Gully episode 12 - a podcast by Short-Rope Stiffler

RyGuy returns to the Non-Standard 14er Podcast to talk about his experience in a search and rescue mission on Crestone Peak. RyGuy reflects upon what went wrong, what he learned and what others should avoid when climbing snow-covered gullies like Crestone Peak’s Red Gully.  We discuss emergency beacons, the difference between north and south facing snow conditions, and what it’s like to be picked up off a mountain by a Blackhawk Helicopter.  We also chat about best practices if you ever need to call Search and Rescue.
