Helicopter Rescue on Mount Adams

After falling and sliding down a steep, snow-covered slope 7,500 feet up the south face of Mount Adams yesterday morning, a Portland-area climber was rescued by an Oregon Army National Guard helicopter team.
Lt. Col. Dan Hokanson, commander of the military air rescue team, said that other climbers had come down the mountain after the accident and sought help shortly before noon.
The Blackhawk rescue helicopter was able to land in a small depression near the injured man and flew him to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland.
At 5:30 p.m., the climber was in stable condition at the hospital and preparing to go into surgery for a compound fracture to his leg.
