Its a great starter route for everyone getting into hiking , i'd say it sees a lot of people every weekend , I always go weekdays early . How do people get get rescued from here , chopper?

Yea you are better off going early.
It depends on what the weather is like and if the heli can be tasked due to it being busy or not, if the heli cant make it we stretched the injured person out. Usually happens on the way down once they cross the river, its not an easy stretcher carry from there with all the boulders in the way :-) ive done it a few times.

Wow , I'd say that person in the stretcher feels like a right dope!
I'd throw myself in the river out of embaressment
