An injured Victoria hiker was rescued from a slippery ledge in an isolated area of Strathcona Park on Sunday after his iPhone, which has an automatic fall-detection system, sent out a distress call.
The man, whose name was not released, was hiking alone above the lake, which is at the base of the Comox Glacier, Berry said Tuesday. As a result of his injury, the man was not able to move from his location, said Berry, adding the hiker was “cold and wet and in a significant amount of pain.” As teams were flown in to the area, other search and rescue ground teams moved toward the site on logging roads and to the trail-head using utility task vehicles.
“It was narrow enough that it was difficult to transit with the stretcher with two people alongside … and quite slippery conditions,” Berry said.
