[Fitzcarraldo]

maybe you remember the rescue I am refering to...two guys were at the top of an ice chute near the summit of gorgonio...both fell into the chute, one managed to stop his fall about 300 feet down, but the other kept going, hit rocks and was killed. The copter rescued the live guy directly, but the other required a ground team to recover the body and place it where a copter could pick it up. The guy who survived went on to become a CHP officer, I recall.

Been several rescues up there

We lost 3 guys in 1984 and 1983 on Little San GOrgonio, One guy went to pee and slide off in an ice chute. The other 2 died a year later, same thing, ice chute.
