Commonwealth Basin
2130 callout for missing female in Commonwealth Basin. We responded with 4 airscent and 1 trailing teams, 11 personnel total. The subject was camping with co-workers and got separated during a climb to the saddle just north of Guye Peak. The story was that she turned around when the party started scrambling up a steep, icy stretch of the trail. When the party returned to camp, she was not there. They called SAR at that time. The trailing team was deployed to the lower base camp and the airscent teams were sent into specific areas. The subject was located by a SMR team who found her asleep in a tent at the saddle off Guye Peak. (74 hrs)
