EF&R, along with @BvueFD Medics, @SeattleMtRescue, @KCSAR, and @kingcosoPIO Guardian One, worked through the hail and snow this afternoon to rescue a critically injured hiker who had fallen on Haystack Rock on Mt. Si. Trail rescues take an incredible amount of coordination between agencies and a massive effort from rescuers. Please be prepared for inclement weather when hiking in our region, as the weather can change quickly at high elevations.
