Drones Rescue Stranded, Ropeless Climber From Famous Wall
Reported byExplorersWeb ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A climber stranded 77 meters above ground on an unroped ledge on Alaska Highway route at Stawamus Chief Mountain in Squamish, British Columbia was rescued by two cargo drones — one carrying a rope and warm jacket, another providing light and video documentation — allowing him to rappel safely in the middle of the night.
The climber had experienced a mishap with his partner that left him without a rope; the article does not explain the full circumstances of how this happened.
