This rescue involves a Highline, a rope team technique that is rarely used but every team practices .

Ken Neden was recognized for his 50 years as a volunteer with Arrowsmith Search and Rescue and presented the King Charles III Coronation Medal by Gord Johns, MP for Courtenay-Alberni, during a surprise celebration with fellow volunteers and supporters on Sept. 8.
At first light on Wednesday, a team of water and rope techs with Squamish Search and Rescue set out.
It was a long hike in through challenging terrain, and the rescue team said they could have reached the area quicker and safer with a helicopter.
But that request was denied by Emergency Management and Climate Readiness (EMCR), which is the provincial ministry that helps coordinate Search and Rescue dispatch.

Squamish Search and Rescue
Shortly after 1:00 PM today, our team responded to a call for two climbers who were injured by a rockfall.
While they were initially assisted by a nearby group of climbers, SSAR deployed a HETS technician just above their location.
After a short period of time, our HETS team successfully long-lined the injured party out.

For the first time in its 20-year history as an organization, BCSARA has produced a year in review report, thanks to now having the capacity and a data scientist on staff to help prepare and interpret the data we collect from the SAR community.
We hope you enjoy reading some remarkable stories in this report as well as see the value that our 3,400+ amazing volunteer GSAR members bring to the province through some very insightful statistics.
