The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team began a ground-based response to treat and carry the hiker off of the mountain, according to a release. After several attempts to land near the hiker, the air operation was suspended due to weather and high winds. The Sheriff’s rescue team sheltered the injured hiker in place just below the peak until the thunderstorms passed. The helicopter returned after weather improved to hoist and rescue the hiker from 12,400 feet elevation.
