Crews use helicopter to rescue woman from Camelback Mountain

Arizona’s Family learned the woman was about three-quarters of the way up the mountain when a call for help was made.

Oooh, they have those wheeled trail stretcher/wheelbarrow things.

@ai6yr
that place has a lot of incidents
people go to spring training and go out for a "walk" misunderestimating the mountain ...

@ai6yr that was our third most common call out location when I was in Pinal County SAR

I got to long line down on one call. It was a hoot, especially since my quad was smarting as on mile one I took a misstep and got a 2 inch cactus spine buried and had to dig it out.

That's one of many reasons I EDC curved mosquito hemostats.

@autolycos Cactus spines! Well, yeah, that's a hazard.
