SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Mt. Rose area to locate and transport an injured hiker. The subject was approximately one mile below Mt. Rose Peak, on the hiking trail, with a leg injury. A Hasty Team member happened to be on the trail at the time and came across the subject. Team members were able to drive into Frog Pond and start hiking from that point, along with some of them being transported by SVU to a location just north of the waterfall to begin their hike. Just before ground teams got to the subject, RAVEN was able to hoist a Hasty medic and other Hasty members down to her for packaging and transport. She was flown to staging at the Mt. Rose Summit parking lot, and transferred to an ambulance.
