When you're up on the side of a cliff or mountain like that, are there still flies and mosquitoes?

[jeepingnet]

Wow amazing job really glad to have stumbled across this video. Again excellent job!

[woodenfrog73]

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!

I wonder if any hikers have had to be rescued in the past trying to take one of the trails to the summit?? Also, in case one needs to be rescued, do you have to pay for it?

[ParksCanadaAgency]

@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.

[Firenurse100]

This is great work. Even with the edits they made fast work in a tough spot to get that patient off. I do agree that the Team needs gloves as there was plenty of blood there.

[progers71swim]

That is just awesome - great work by the rescue team.

[ReganMilne]

[ilDarcy]

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.
