Hiker sick on Summit of Wittenberg Mtn

Unread post by dave »

Wilderness Rescue in the Town of Shandaken in Ulster County:

On Oct. 2 at 11:45 a.m., Ulster County 911 received a call from a hiking party reporting one hiker persistently vomiting at the summit of Wittenberg Mountain.

Four Rangers and EMS met the 17-year-old on the trail (who was descending the mountain) and assessed the hiker's condition, provided nourishment, and escorted them one mile to the trailhead. The hiker refused further medical treatment. Resources were clear at 3 p.m.
