At first light on Wednesday, a team of water and rope techs with Squamish Search and Rescue set out.
It was a long hike in through challenging terrain, and the rescue team said they could have reached the area quicker and safer with a helicopter.

Squamish Search and Rescue
Shortly after 1:00 PM today, our team responded to a call for two climbers who were injured by a rockfall.
While they were initially assisted by a nearby group of climbers, SSAR deployed a HETS technician just above their location.
After a short period of time, our HETS team successfully long-lined the injured party out.https://bc.ctvnews.ca/2-airlifted-to-hospital-from-squamish-rock-climbing-area-1.7002852
