16,000-Pound Boulder Rescue on Mount Hood

A climber was pinned under a 16,000-pound boulder on Mount Hood, sparking a massive rescue operation. Bystanders couldn’t budge the rock, so Clackamas Fire’s Technical Rescue Team deployed with snow cats and coordinated with LifeFlight and OHSU to prep a field surgical team—even a helicopter was on standby. The climber, conscious and talking, was eventually freed and is now recovering in the hospital. This multi-agency effort—featuring sheriff’s, fire, ski patrol, and air rescue—showcases the elite capabilities of technical rescue units ready to respond anywhere, anytime.
