Nope not “heroes”. Extremely overused term. They are however extremely skilled, reliable professionals providing an urgent service who the rest of us outdoor enthusiasts may need in out most dire times. That’s better than being a hero.
Thank you people for your care.
While I never hiked/climbed in Canada and never had to call for a rescue, I'm always glad to know well-trained people like you all are out there looking out. Thanks.
Wow - their work is unbelievable. obviously a calling
without you guys we would have suffered greatly on Castle mountain august 23/2010. thanks :)
It's one thing to hike/climb these mountains, it's another thing to rescue those who encounter trouble. Well Done!
An inspiring example of human compassion and co-operation.
Unreal ! Great job. Glad you are out there.
So much respect for the rescue team. Impressive stuff
An absolutly amazing video! Kudos to the rescute team! The two climbers are UCalgary Medicine Libin Institute profs, with the one who was injured being a department head. Having spoken to the now well recovered Professor Lytton, Professor Welsh also had a very important part in the story having a good ending. NOTE - I'm sharing names as they were already shared via media to the public by the individuals involved.
Amazing job! Lucky climber that this happen to him in area with heli rescue and weather wasnt nasty as it can be.
nice to know you guys are out there, never plan to use you but nice to know.
That must have been one big rock that cracked his helmet open. Glad he seems to be alright, and glad that he offered to share his experience with the world. Danger is everywhere, but thankfully they all took the right precautions and pros around to help out.
Brilliant job by the rescuers! It sometimes hard to treat patients on the ground when I'm full of adrenaline yet these guys are cool as cucumbers hanging off the cliff. Much respect!
Doing your homework and letting people know where you're going is a must. but its good to know there are heros like these guys to pull our asses out of the fire if we get in trouble. keep up the good work guys!
Wow such precision. Hats off to you guys for your service
Total respect guys. It's good to advertise a bit so people have a more concrete view of your amazing job.

How has firefighting been for you...6 years later?
impressive!!!!!!
Amazing
@hdeeplive backcountry rescues within Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay National Park are funded from a percentage of the vehicle pass fees which are collected at the Park Gates. We have scramble brochure/maps (also on our website) for the very popular scramble route (as opposed to climbing routes) on Cascade Mountain. We have rescued hikers/scramblers from this route in the past. So it's important to do your homework and be prepared.

How much does it cost when you have to get rescued?
This looks frightening 😥😥😥 sad at the same time
great!
Amazing work gentlemen! One question: What was your rationale for delaying C-spine?
haha I wouldn't describe that as a "good ledge" jesus you guys do a tough job. Well done.
Well Done! :D
When you're up on the side of a cliff or mountain like that, are there still flies and mosquitoes?
Can't believe a man could seat by a cliff for such a long time.
that was great....
So was the climber Ok, after all of this? Nice work.

Nice work! Is it typical to film a rescue?
@Tanker256 You can read the accident report here pc.gc.ca/progs/np-pn/sp-ps/sec7/index_e.asp#DansDelight-aug28
He was going from the hard part of Cascade Mountain?
Heros
here in america it would cost you about $15,000 for that rescue. i rescued a friend of mine and she had already called 911 before me. luckily i got out there and got everything handled before the helicopter showed up. it just took off when i got them down and the were able to cancel the pricey heli flight
