I'll let SVS tell his story but we came close to losing one of our own. Thanks to Alpental patrol for getting to us as quick as they did and to thefortrees for his help and leadership in getting SVS unburied. Miracles do happen.

Oh man.

That’s sobering.

Glad everyone is alive and hope SVS heals up.

Shit.

Holy crap. Glad you are still alive.
I was with the minimagette all day lapping pow. 18” is practically snorkel deep for an 8 year old girl but she tore it up.

phatty deserves props, he stayed with SVS for maybe 2 hrs(?) in frigid temps while patrol was mobilized and enroute

Here's a view of the cliff from the extraction site. Probably 60ish ft. Super lucky thefortrees and I were able to get there quick.

SVS, so glad you were able to get back to your family tonight. Those calls you made to your wife are going to stay with me forever. I gave my wife and kids some big hugs as soon as I got home. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...60f1e0f0d1.jpg

Nice pic. It's even crazier from this angle. Thanks for helping guide patrol out to us and glad you made it home.

Heal up man, thank goodness you’re OK. Serious props to all the rescuers.

Glad you're going to be okay, SVS! Healing vibes your way man. Super scary stuff.

Major props to everyone involved with keeping him alive and getting him out. Bravo!

Glad to hear folks are ok. Looking forward to a more detailed summary of events.

wow. sobering to say the least. Very glad you are going to be ok SVS.

Props to phatty, thefortrees, snoqpass and the rest of the crew who stayed past closing.
So glad you're ok, SVS, ya k00k.

Pics are gnarly. Solid recovery by the crew. Hang in there SVS.

Damn. Glad you're ok SVS.

Well done those that helped.

vibes, so glad it turned out the way it did

Update from Ms. SVS is that he's gone to ER to get checked out. Was able to sleep through pain yesterday after adrenaline wore off. Should hopefully hear an update later today. Keep sending him all the good vibes you can.
