I’ve known Becca since we were young kids at summer camp. Y’all saved her life. So thankful to every single one of you
I was climbing in the black and the night before embarking on the biggest scariest climb of my life, we were telling the park rangers of our plans and the man just shakes his head and says "Go big, we'll come get ya!". Not only did this put my mind at ease and enable us to push ourselves with confidence, but beyond that, guess who was there to greet us as we topped out. The same caring ranger who unbeknownst to us was keeping a watchful eye us the whole day. The rangers and SAR team of the black are true friends and we are all lucky to have you. Thanks for everything you do.
Thank you SAR saving my cousin Becca! My family and I were so scared we were gonna lose her!!
Congrats team! Well done! In 2002 we worked with the park service on a project where we rigged a highline across the Black Canyon and then lowered a rescuer to the bottom. It was a great proof of concept but it underscored the challenges of rescues in the Black Canyon. Best to you all from an old SAR guy.
Such an incredible story and incredible team!! Thank you Black Canyon SAR for changing people's lives and bringing Becca back to us!! ❤
FanFUCKINGtastic! New to the community, working in the ER nearby, and I can absolutely attest to the dedication and humanity of the SAR community in this region. Thanks for all you do to keep the adventurous spirit of this area and those that explore it safer and more survivable.

Just got your email this is crazy
Hats off to the team and glad she’s made a full recovery! I do wonder how an experienced climber/belayer lets someone take a 30 foot fall unless the rope snapped
It was a trad climb and the protection failed when she slipped so there was nothing for him to belay.
5.13 free solo is the perfect way to describe that hoist rescue.
