2 . Colorado’s Grays Peak rises 14,278 feet above sea level, high enough that trees can’t grow towards the top, though there are plenty of bushes, rocks, etc. It was in this unforgiving place that Bev Wedelstedt was unlucky enough to have a bitter experience.
It was August 2018, and Wedelsted,56, was on her way back down the trail (小路) with three friends. A storm was upon, and they were anxious to get off the mountain. When they approached a rocky drop of a couple of feet, Wedelstedt decided that instead of shaking down on her hip — the safe way to go — she would leap. Then she landed on her left leg and heard a snap (劈啪声).
Every step after that was painful. Before long, she had to stop. As one friend ran down to get help, a number of other hikers, all strangers, attempted to help her down the narrow trail by walking on either side of her to support her weight, but that proved slow and dangerous.
Finally, one hiker, Matt, asked her, “How do you feel about a fireman’s carry?” Before she knew it, he lifted her over his shoulder. Matt clearly couldn’t carry her all the way down by himself. So six hikers and one of her friends followed. Three hours and two mountainous miles later, this human conveyor belt finally met the ambulance men, who took Wedelstedt to the hospital.
Now Wedelstedt has mostly recovered from her ill-fated hike, but she knows she’ll never shake one thing from that day: the memory of the band of strangers who came to her rescue. “I told them I wanted to meet a lot of guys, but this isn’t the way I wanted to do it. I’m still in awe now,” she said.
