Mount Logan Rescue

Monique Richard climbed Mount Logan by herself in the spring in hopes of becoming the first woman to solo Canada’s highest peak. On her way down, she suffered from the altitude and exposure and luckily there were two climbers from Quebec nearby who initiated a rescue. “Stephane Gagnon, a Quebecbased acmg ski guide and his 19-year-old son Guillaume, took a critical part in the rescue of a climber on the Kings Trench route on Mount Logan,” said Marc Ledwidge, president of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides. “They likely saved the climber’s life. The acmg and guiding community are very proud of their actions.”
