On May 30th, 2002 9 members of a climbing party fell into a crevasse on the South side of Mt Hood.  The well televised rescue is bought to you by one of our 25 year veteran rescuer Steve Rollins, who was on scene when a rescue helicopter crashed into the side of the mountain.  The rescue made it into the national news due to its complexity and severity. 
Take a listen to the harrowing account of the events unfolded.
