My partner and I were involved, with many other climbers and first responders, in the rescue of a female in her late 20's early 30's yesterday directly above the second parking lot.

Does anyone know her status? She was med-flighted shortly after being removed from the woods.

Friend of hers that couldn't make the trip with her. She's in a medically induced coma while they try to reduce pressure on the brain due to internal bleeding.

Does anyone know how it happened? All I've heard is that she was supposedly bailing on a climb and had a 20' fall. How did she fall?

Jonathan,
There is a decent description of the location and likely nature of accident in the regional, northeast forum. Check there.

Also, if you have an update, folks who have posted there assisted in the rescue. If you have an update, others may be interested.

Best thoughts are with her and positive vibes for her to heal and improve.

Nick

She’s a friend of mine- we’ve gotten no update besides that she’s still in a coma, but has some response To stimuli.

Still in a coma.  I've been told by those with her that her numbers are getting better but I don't honestly know exactly what that means. I just know they're staying positive and believe thay she will recover from this so I'm going to do that too.
