At 1837 hours the Team was called to assist a 40-year-old female climber with reported back injuries at Swan Cliff near TJ Lake. Rescue base was established at Lake George, and multiple field teams hiked the short distance to the subject location with the wheeled litter and other gear. Medic 3 personnel were first on scene, and they were able to assess, treat, and package the subject in the wheeled litter with assistance from MOSAR personnel for delivery to the trailhead. The subject was transferred to Medic 3 and transported to Mammoth Hospital and was then flown to Loma Linda Medical Center for advanced care and treatment.
