Any word on the condition of the pilot who crashed
yesterday?
Dale Kramer crashed into the ridge yesterday. He was on the mountain
all night with significant injuries. Details are sketchy but
apparently an EMT got to the sight some time during the night and was
able to provide support.(IV etc}. Dale was extricated from the sight
today and taken to the hospital. Description was significant injuries
but alive and ?stable ? guarded. Hopefully more news tomorrow.
"Search teams zeroed in on the glider's homing beacon,

Homing beacon, eh? Maybe I should get one of those.
