The rescue operation was a significant challenge with rescuers navigating a perilous 16-mile round trip through dark, muddy terrain using only headlamps to illuminate their path.
Clayton King described his sudden illness as feeling like being 'hit with a sledgehammer', highlighting the severity of his condition during the hike.
A fortunate encounter with another group of hikers who had satellite communication equipment allowed for an immediate SOS signal to be sent, potentially saving King's life.
The dedicated team of six Search and Rescue volunteers successfully located and transported Clayton King after a grueling 13-hour trek through the treacherous Conditions of the Ventana Wilderness.
