EDSAR cliff team was asked to assist the El Dorado Sheriff's Department in recovering a deceased man, who apparently fell to his death from a cliff. The team met deputies at 500am and proceeded to the North South Road area. A steep trail lead the team to a picturesque granite, dome, creek and steep canyon, topped by evergreen forest at 5200 feet.
The team lowered a rescuer with a litter down the deceased subject, who was being examined by deputies. A 9:1 rope system was used to haul the rescuer and subject back up the cliff for a carryout to a forest service road.
The circumstances surrounding the death of the subject remain under investigation.
This is a venue for El Dorado SAR members to provide fill-in information and first-hand accounts of specific previous searches. After SAR302 posts the first item about a recent search, any SAR member is invited to add their comments/observations/feelings/experience as it relates to said search. The postings are then edited and posted to the ESARC website (edsar.org) for public viewing.
