Hiker rescued on South Sister
A 56-year-old
Illinois man was airlifted off South Sister on Wednesday, July 10, after
suffering an apparent heart attack.
According to Deschutes County Sheriff's Office reports, members of Lantz
Stein's hiking party called 9-1-1 on a cell phone from the trail below
Lewis Glacier to report the crisis.
Four members of the sheriff's office mountain rescue team and Air Life
medical personnel were helicoptered in to the site.
A flight nurse and respiratory specialist from Air Life stabilized the
patient and rescue personnel placed him on a back board for an approximately
1/4-mile transport to the chopper.
Stein was flown to St. Charles Medical Center for treatment and the rescue
personnel hiked out to the Devil's Lake Trailhead.
This was the second air rescue in the local mountains in as many weeks.
