One hiker called 911, saying they feared that if they tried to climb back to the trail they would fall farther down the icy slope.
Two Southern California hikers were rescued after falling down an icy slope where another man took a fatal fall several weeks earlier.
Icehouse Saddle is a ridge above a 1,200-foot slope. At the same area on Dec. 30, a Los Angeles hiker who had been missing for two days was found dead. Jarret Choi, 43, was believed to have suffered fatal injuries in a fall of about 300 feet. The two reportedly told deputies that an “equipment failure” caused them to lose their footing. The sheriff’s press release stressed the importance of having properly fitted equipment — crampons and ice ax — and knowing how to use it in icy conditions.
