Mount Temple rescue

my friend's brother got his muscle pulled and couldn't go up or down plus extreme winds and cold temperature. my friend had to call a helicopter. I caught up with them few hours later after descending safely in the parking lot.

Our team of nine were the guys that past you during the rescue. I'm glad we climbed down because I sure wouldn't want to hang off that cable. Our prayers were with you during your rescue, and trust that all is well. Hopefully when we get our video and pics together we'll post them as well.

@pvanessen heys, I'm glad you guys made it. apparently my friends went down to Larch Valley from which they had their 10 minutes of fame. as for me, it was a long lonely but entertaining 3 hour descent. I'm looking forward for your clip :). will be going soon. summit that day was too windy

Oh boy, Mustafa, you couldn't have asked for a better video shot of the Paradise Valley! LOL

Glad your buddies are O.K.

Not fun to pull a muscle on a mountain, that's for sure.

(to be honest, riding under that heli would scare the shit out of me haha)

@CalgaryAlpineStyle when the rope got closer to us, I was so scared more than all my trips put together, I don't really think of my fear of heights on a mountain but when the rope came it clicked back..you don't see it but in the original I had to sit down and video tape the rest >_<. having a helicopter hover over me was weird. but they had fun anyways. hope i DONT have to do this again for a while

walking down alone wasn't fun either :/. but I didn't want to trouble the poor staff

@Mkamalid

I know exactly what you mean...but it was part of the game I guess.

@Mkamalid

You did a great job videotaping!
