Katahdin climber released from hospital
Wednesday, June9, 2004, 9:28 AM
BAXTER STATE PARK (AP) -- A 56-year-old New Jersey man is out of the hospital after being carried down Mount Katahdin on a stretcher following a fall from a rock face.
Park rangers spent 12 hours rescuing Vincent Jones, who dislocated both of his shoulders in the Monday afternoon accident on the Hunt Trail, at an elevation of 3,000 feet.
About 50 people, including volunteers from a nearby campground and a white-water rafting company, took part in the rescue. Because of the weather and mechanical issues, there was no attempt at a helicopter rescue.
