We were activated to find a missing male somewhere up on Hunchback ridge. Four teams were deployed from different access points to find the subject which was in cell phone contact with CCSO. Mountain Wave did a great job of triangulating a tentative location from cell phone pings and team two was able to locate the subject. A litter team was on standby while the suject was hydrated by AMR. It was determined that the subject could be escorted out by PNW so the litter team returned to base. A tough night on rough terrain with a great result. A good lesson to be learned about proper hydration in the wilderness. Nice job everyone !
