Turn off the TV reality shows, and come to hear about a "real" rescue on the flanks of Mount Adams in Washington State. In July of 2004, a group of NH hikers, many of them NH Chapter Trip Leaders and Workshop Instructors, headed west to Washington State to climb the snowfields and glaciated peaks of Mts. Adams and Rainier. Amid the mountains' splendor and adventure they discovered that even on those treeless peaks, "You never know who you are going to meet!" Join Scott Taylor as he shares his stories and photos of this expedition, and the unexpected events they encountered at 11,000 feet while descending Mt. Adams. His story and slides are a testament to the resourcefulness and abilities of this NH group of climbers that helped avert a tragedy. This is a moving story you won't soon forget. Scott is a NH Hike leader, workshop instructor, paramedic and ski patroller. Scott has been recognized statewide for his role as Emergency Medical Services Educator.
