Wittenberg Mountain - Exhausted Hiker
Wilderness Rescue in Town of Shandaken Ulster County: On Aug. 9 at 3:40 p.m., Ray Brook Dispatch received a call about a 62-year-old hiker experiencing weakness and persistent vomiting on Wittenberg Mountain. Despite showing signs of fatigue at 1 p.m., the hiker and their son continued to the summit of the mountain. After hiking back down half a mile, the hiker from New Jersey could no longer continue. Due to the remote location, New York State Police (NYSP) Aviation was approved. Rangers Fox and Stratton and a NYSP medic were lowered down to the patient. NYSP successfully hoisted the subject and brought them back to the Catskill Interpretive Center.
