Nope not “heroes”. Extremely overused term. They are however extremely skilled, reliable professionals providing an urgent service who the rest of us outdoor enthusiasts may need in out most dire times. That’s better than being a hero.
While I never hiked/climbed in Canada and never had to call for a rescue, I'm always glad to know well-trained people like you all are out there looking out. Thanks.
Brilliant job by the rescuers! It sometimes hard to treat patients on the ground when I'm full of adrenaline yet these guys are cool as cucumbers hanging off the cliff. Much respect!
Doing your homework and letting people know where you're going is a must. but its good to know there are heros like these guys to pull our asses out of the fire if we get in trouble. keep up the good work guys!
@Tanker256 The patient ended up suffering a broken ankle, broken ribs and resulting pneumothorax in the lung, dislocated shoulder, point tenderness in his back and spine, as well as a lacerated face.
That must have been one big rock that cracked his helmet open. Glad he seems to be alright, and glad that he offered to share his experience with the world. Danger is everywhere, but thankfully they all took the right precautions and pros around to help out.
An absolutly amazing video! Kudos to the rescute team! The two climbers are UCalgary Medicine Libin Institute profs, with the one who was injured being a department head. Having spoken to the now well recovered Professor Lytton, Professor Welsh also had a very important part in the story having a good ending. NOTE - I'm sharing names as they were already shared via media to the public by the individuals involved.
@hdeeplive backcountry rescues within Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay National Park are funded from a percentage of the vehicle pass fees which are collected at the Park Gates. We have scramble brochure/maps (also on our website) for the very popular scramble route (as opposed to climbing routes) on Cascade Mountain. We have rescued hikers/scramblers from this route in the past. So it's important to do your homework and be prepared.
It is absolutely amazing, How these guys are so skilled to do this as volunteers or a job, Its always been my dream to live in this country, One this video is amazing :)
wow amazing job. Would you say this is an accident or carelessness or the climbers part. I mean you should be screwing down those hooks every 10 feet or something right?
It depends on the type of climbing and the conditions on the rock you are climbing. You don't really "screw down hooks" in rock climbing. Either it's prebolted in which case you follow the bolts that are there, or it's traditional climbing in which case you place your own (usually removable) protection in cracks and other features in which case you work with the features that are available. It sounds like in this case it was just a random rockfall above him that sent him off the rock, maybe taking some of his gear out of the wall or maybe he was just in a situation where he couldn't place anything for a while (what we call runout).
for this rescue it seems it was none of the above, he was hit by rock fall (which was above him so he couldn't have done anything about it) and it caused his fall
The line is a fixed length and is hooked up to two independent points on the aircraft to ensure that the rescuer and patient are always solidly attached. The rescue pilot is in control of the descent rate and they do a great job of gently lowering patients and rescuers during responses. Parks Canada Visitor Safety
How do I make this my career? Where do you recomend I start? I'm already into rock climbing I've only done single pitches yet though I'm no pro it's just a hobby I love the rigging aspect of it though and that's what motivates me to wanna do big walls is the logistics. Im afraid someone will say become an EMT that's a terrible financial decision in the United States though 😂
here in america it would cost you about $15,000 for that rescue. i rescued a friend of mine and she had already called 911 before me. luckily i got out there and got everything handled before the helicopter showed up. it just took off when i got them down and the were able to cancel the pricey heli flight
Hi Jake, great question. Even though the default is to use BSI procedures (such as gloves) with any first aid, the final decision is made on a case-by-case basis that balances the need for managing the risks of operating in the terrain, with the risks to the patient or responders. Moving around on technical rock in summer is best done with bare hands, and after assessing the likelihood of contacting any bodily fluids while packaging, this was probably the reason they chose not to wear gloves.
Helicopter pilot was so smooth and clean!!!
Thanks for watching!
You guys - ground and air ~ are the biggest heroes. Seeing this a decade later but know it's still true. Be safe and happy trails to you all.

without you guys we would have suffered greatly on Castle mountain august 23/2010. thanks :)
It's one thing to hike/climb these mountains, it's another thing to rescue those who encounter trouble. Well Done!
An inspiring example of human compassion and co-operation.
Unreal ! Great job. Glad you are out there.
Wow - their work is unbelievable. obviously a calling
Brilliant job by the rescuers! It sometimes hard to treat patients on the ground when I'm full of adrenaline yet these guys are cool as cucumbers hanging off the cliff. Much respect!
Total respect guys. It's good to advertise a bit so people have a more concrete view of your amazing job.
nice to know you guys are out there, never plan to use you but nice to know.
Wow such precision. Hats off to you guys for your service

God damn, this is why I stay on the ground lol
What an incredible service you do for that country. Cudos from the South African Fire Service.

Brilliant. Haven't seen such a good video of a rockface rescue like that.

How much does it cost when you have to get rescued?
Terrific work. Always admired the Warden Service. Would have liked to have been one when I was a kid. Thanks Sid Marty.... 'Men for the Mountains'
When you're up on the side of a cliff or mountain like that, are there still flies and mosquitoes?
Comment ? Awestruck - unable to describe the work of Safety Specialists
So was the climber Ok, after all of this? Nice work.
It is absolutely amazing, How these guys are so skilled to do this as volunteers or a job, Its always been my dream to live in this country, One this video is amazing :)

He was going from the hard part of Cascade Mountain?
Beatifull video!!
Great work!
Well that was pretty much the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'm a firefighting student right now, and that would be my dream job right there aha
Here watch this! Mount Blanc in France. They get 50 calls a day sometimes. Great rescue you series. th-cam.com/video/ztDs0RGPjpM/w-d-xo.html
How has firefighting been for you...6 years later?
Great job guys.
Awsome vid guys! Impresive rescue too.
Nice work! Is it typical to film a rescue?
Holy crap... What do they have the line hooked up to on the helicopter? How were they able to lower it so gently?

Those pilots are amazing. so smooth
Pretty cool guys. Good work!
My Rig Rescue ticket means nothing compared to the wild stuff you do.
That is... simply amasing
And that is, a very long way down
What badasses what I dream I could do as an arborist and rock climbing enthusiast
Outstanding!
Respect!!!
are these guys volunteers or are they employed with parks
Excellent job
He slipped and fell to that position? He is very lucky. I can’t even imagine. Scary!
How do I make this my career? Where do you recomend I start? I'm already into rock climbing I've only done single pitches yet though I'm no pro it's just a hobby I love the rigging aspect of it though and that's what motivates me to wanna do big walls is the logistics. Im afraid someone will say become an EMT that's a terrible financial decision in the United States though 😂
That's an impressive SAR team
great job man!!!
Congrats, real professionals ~
Good job!

Unreal!!!
Can't believe a man could seat by a cliff for such a long time.
here in america it would cost you about $15,000 for that rescue. i rescued a friend of mine and she had already called 911 before me. luckily i got out there and got everything handled before the helicopter showed up. it just took off when i got them down and the were able to cancel the pricey heli flight
You guys are badass.
Brilliant!
This was on national TV last nite. You can see the GoPro shadow.
slick boys, good work!
You are heros!

Awesome!
No BSI?

Parcs Canada makes sense. Need for BSI didn’t really seem necessary, just curious. Thanks!
