Publication Year: 1962.

New York (Adirondacks), Mt. Colden Dike. On September 11, B. Krumiak (20), K. Haight (20), and M. O. Rosenheimer (23) were descending Mt. Colden Dike. As Krumiak lowered herself over a large egg-shaped boulder it pulled loose. Both fell about 40 ft. She landed on a stone ledge in a tiny “stream,” having received many abrasions and some head contusions. She was conscious all the time. Later medical examination disclosed a hairline fracture of shoulderblade. She walked down to the lake and was rowed to a ranger cabin for the night. She was carried out on a litter (made from pack frames and poles) next day.
