Lovers Leap - thanks for stretcher ride

Broke my heel yesterday at Lover’s Leap.  Thanks to all the climbers giving me a stretcher ride.  Was leading The Line and fell on the last roof move.  We figured out a way down via a pendulum to a set of chains, then a few raps.  Very grateful to everyone!  See you in 3 months!

Were you carried out with Royalty like the Gumby Queen was?  Two strapping young men crossing arms, making a throne to carry the Queen down the Pony Express Trail?

Edit:  to whoever put the stretcher on-site my hats off to you.  Thanks.

That would be Strawberry Station and Lover’s Leap Guides.
I walked the stretcher back in place just below the East Wall and by the Bear box.

HotDog, heal(heel) quick!!

How can I send you a beer?   Thanks!

I always hitup the station when I'm in the area.

No beer necessary, but thanks!

Shout out to Petch and the LL Guides... hired him to take me and my gf up Bear's reach a summer or two ago.  I somehow forgot to bring myself a harness so Petch gave me his and tied in with slings around his waist.  :)

That last pitch of The Line was my first lead back in 1990.  Fond memories.

+1 on the Petch shout outs. I called The Station and Petch was there and informed us of the Stretcher location (@ the HayStack trailhead) Having made that hike out injured, it was a real blessing to take the load off of HotDogWater's injury. Can't thank you all enough. No family like climbing family. Word got around so fast... that a driver was even waiting at the camp gate. Thank you to all whom pitched in.
