Rescues Are Hard Work on Mt Washington
On Mount Washington in New Hampshire a 60 hour winter search by 40 rescuers for a lost hiker tested the team as blizzards and 65 below zero wind chill battered the peak. Mark Goebl of the U S Forest Service led responders and emphasized the rule don t quit until you find the person. The AMC and New Hampshire Fish and Game Dept aid year round in rescues and warn hikers to avoid risky behavior and use common sense on the dangerous ascent.
