At 1519 hours, the Team was called for mutual aid to assist Inyo County SAR with a reported boulder entrapment near Lamarck Col. Four MOSAR team members responded to the Inyo SAR posse hut, but were not provided a field assignment.

The subject’s hiking partner was able to extract him prior to the arrival of any SAR assests, and the injured subject was loaded into an Air National Guard Chinook helicopter for a flight to the Bishop Airport, but his condition worsened considerably on the way, and he was instead flown directly to Fresno for definitive care.
