Stories like this always piss me off. These asshats that go mountain climbing, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, etc. should do so at their own risk. Instead, they get someone else killed so THEY can get their adrenelin rush. As with every officer on here, I'll do my job, even if it means risking my life, but that doesn't mean I won't think you're a selfish dumb-ass for putting me in that position.

My prayers are with Ranger Hall, his family and co-workers. I hope they sue the living crap out of the "survivors."

We had to airlift some douchebags 700 yards to the parking lot with their car because they got lost and called 911 triggering a SAR. I wish we had an Darwin Clause for search and rescue. "So you went hiking in the winter without survival gear? Sorry we don't respond to those, good luck buddy."
