Search and Rescue busy in the Bugaboos

The Columbia Valley Search and Rescue (CVSAR) had their hands full over the weekend with a rescue in the Bugaboos.

CVSAR was tasked for an injured climber early in the afternoon on Saturday.

The climber was injured at the bottom of the Bugaboo-snowpatch.

A team of rescuers responded and transported the climber to medical care with the help of Glacier Helicopters.

Shortly after that, the CVSAR got a second call for an S.O.S activation at Applebee Dome.

A team responded but verified that it was a false activation.
