- Air support was requested by Yosemite National Park officials to assist an injured rock climber on Oct. 27.
A 39-year-old man, Vincent Worth, of Colorado, slipped and fell nearly 50 feet off of Mount Watkins before his safety rope caught him.
He suffered serious injuries to his extremities and was unable to repel from the rock face, California Highway Patrol says.
I wish normal civilians could communicate like this. This is absolutley fantastic
Wow! They could've easily hit the side of that rock. Such skill, these guys are awesome
These rescuers are heroes. They make it look easy but it's risky work. That copter is talking out loud for a reason "minimums, minimums" One good wind and they are into that rock yet they all remain calm...like ex-military so this is like a cake walk for them- no one is shooting at them. Great job by all!
I loved his calm demeanor , what a fantastic job by these three!
They have to be calm
These guys are the BOMB! What courage, agility and ability.
This is truly one of the best examples of teamwork I have ever seen.
Amazing teamwork. And courage.
This is the kind of work I want to do in life.
That was intense. I don't know how anyone with a right mind gave this a thumbs down.
Geez. Applause for the pilot and the other two men. I almost fainted here in my bed.
Yes such precise work!
Extremely well done, congratulations to the CHP Search & Rescue!
Wow!! Thank you rescue workers!!!! 🤘☮
6:48 "It's right at the edge of my comfort level, but it works." He says that so calmly and matter of factly while the helicopter guidance robot voice is freaking out about the lack of rotor clearance, "5, 4, 3, minimums, Minimums, MINIMUMS!" This is incredible. Wow. I had no idea CHP did this type of search and rescue work. In San Francisco, it's our Fire Department that does cliff rescues and they even have a marine unit, but nothing in wildland, of course.
Incredible skill from all involved. Great teamwork and communication.
Squared away gentlemen ! Great work 👊🏼
HEROS!
Calm. Cool. Collected. Lot going on there. Man, machine, weather, gear, radio etc. thanks for posting.
Well done rescue , what rescue does there are no words except thanks for you being there , wow !
amazing work by everyone involved. tnx for sharing this
Thank you search and rescue.
Be thankful
Thank good man
The focus is impressive. Only the things that matter are in their minds.
Look at that beautiful sea of granite
Skill mixed with courage, great team!
Rescuers are so awesome 👍😎😮
That’s Jack Hoeflich on the end of the winch line plucking the climber off the wall.
that's what ice in your veins looks like.
Pilot skills!!!
Minimums..minimums
Guess who couldn’t do this job, this guy, and by this guy I mean me! What are they doing taking a couple shots of whiskey before they start the rescue?
The best in the world!
Heroes.
That’s an expensive “medical” bill
Why CHP is doing mountain rescue?
Wait so what happened to the guy? Did he just take a huge whipper and break his legs or something?
He fell 50 feet… what do you think 💀
lucky to be alive, thanks to safety rope
I was wondering who picks up the cost of these recuses? It seems high wall climbers are a small group. These rescues have to cost tens of thousands. I love watching these people climb and have the utmost respect for their skills and huge balls. However, it would be interesting to know the risk/capital associated with rescures.
Taxpayers, mostly.
It doesn’t really cost that much. A few thousand in helicopter fuel and maintenance, plus labor time for the rescuers. The bigger issue is risking lives to save lives.
As a person that only found out that heights of such extremes that you are faced with spending hours with and heights that you need to not just spend hours with but become one with and then be exposed as you become one with them are (and as a man I am completely fine with this and can be firm in my affirmation) not for me and it's only now in my 43 year upon this earth I find that this is indeed a truth and this truth causes a issue in a part of me that seeks extreme adrenaline releasing activites that demand you either do them correctly or you die. Period. As a child on my second visit to Yosemite and at just 14 years old I along with my brother and Dad completed the first hike I saw as a test of endurance and the genesis of the my desire to find other ways to obtain that thrill. Half dome was my first and continues to be my favorite of all great granite monoliths that call out to the need inside us to get to their top and feel as though now they are a part of you and you are a part of them. Sort of how Jeff found that consuming parts of his lovers forevermore remained as his no matter their ability to physically be present or alive if I am allowed this example and people can see my sick sense of humor as just that and nothing more. The cables at 14 and then up the snake at 25 which is and seems as it will be the biggest as well as most technical and demanding climb that I'll ever experience as I am know overcome with a feeling of slight nausea and a urge to panic and every ounce of me then needing to be focused on finding a place of comfort to go in my head to again be comfortable in the task at hand and then returning to that and surviving. I watch people like Alex Honmold in utter disbelief as they have mastered the ability as well as their own ability and the limit of their soul to continue to go up and be correct in each and every hold and placement of their toe or their fingers ability to grab and maintain that until the next one finger or hand or toe can find its place and holdfast. El capitan was a goal I'll never do and I'm fine with that. I cant even dive anymore without feeling more panic than enjoyment. At 43 I've become more afraid than calm. I'll stick to motorcycles and stunts on them on the freeway through traffic as I jump around my bike and scrape the titanium off every day if I need to prove anything to myself. Titanium gets expensive though so I try and conserve it as to not destroy round bars and eventually crack subframe after subframe on these 03/04 636's that are not as available as they once were. Ride, wreck, fix and continue until the day I'm unable to do so. Be happy and e you and stay in your own lane both in life and metaphorically because people concerning themselves with others is gross and it means you smell like balls or feminine gash respectively as these organs and smells apply respectively to you as a man or woman. If you have neither because of birth defect or accidentally than use your butthole as the stink hole as you are sans balls and have a mound like a mannequin does. Just a smooth mound nothing else. Call you that. Smooth mound so yeah if you are a smooth man you have a butthole that perpetually reeks like you took a fresh dump and didnt feel wiping was needed. It was man. It totally was and it even left a stain that is so egregious in it being noticeably there and definitely diarrhea you squirt all over yourself. Sick man. Why? That's wrong and nasty and you can do better. You get an F as you failed life so remember that you now will forever be a perpetual big nasty reeking diarrhea stain that has smooth mound and nothing else to offer but the story of how you obtained that mound that's bald and smooth. Cool dude but wrong. I slap you and tell you that you need to knock yourself out by falling headfirst from the roof of the trailer you live in and are proud to own because you are now just trash and you might as well use methamphetamine to match the smell you carry upon your back. Its not ok and unacceptable and we can't ever be friends ad we used to be. You are dead to me. Bye
The next time I help someone back out I’ll be a lot more detailed !
Seems like just another day at the office for these guys.
I have
Love Rescue missions. I would give second thought to thar HP man holding that cord with his hand. Use anything but hand.
they work for the California Government??? holy shit
Could you imagine the drama queens of today’s society trying to accomplish something like this.
What a dramatic thing to say
Climbers should pay insurance for these rescues. Instead, the rest of us shoulder the costs.
If you drive into a pole in your car and the police pull over to help, do you pay for that? If a cruise ship sinks in the ocean and the coast guard comes to rescue, do you pay for that?
As a climber, most of us do. The American Alpine Club membership includes rescue insurance, most people climbing big walls probably have that insurance.
Lol if you want safe and beautiful national parks I’d stop complaining
Rappel not Repel...LoL
Actually it’s French😊
These stupid thrill seekers, don't seem to realize they put other lives in danger!
The majority of YOSAR are lifetime climbers themselves. Don’t comment on things you don’t understand.
Agreed. I'd leave them there.
You realize Yosemite is the Mecca for the sport of climbing. Millions of rock climbers have come to do this
@@Nate-nm7em Yes, it's just like caving or any other sport. The majority of the search and rescue teams for surfers are surfers. For cavers/spelunkers, it's volunteer cavers. For hunters, it's hunters. For scuba divers, it takes more experienced scuba divers to rescue them. For swimmers, it's rescue swimmers and lifeguards. It's almost always volunteers with more experience in the sport who are doing all the rescuing. That's how sports and outdoor activities logically work.
