How many men does it take to carry a woman down a waterfall?

I lost count at 12. (and I was only counting the firemen.)

We went to doughnut falls last night to get some pictures for my photography class. When we got up there a guy came running down the hill asking for sweaters to keep a girl warm. Apparently she was climbing up the side of the waterfall and slipped, fell off a cliff onto the sharp rocks below. She couldn't feel her back and couldn't move. We sat and watched as a couple of firemen came to the rescue, then more, then more, some sheriffs, and more firemen. This picture shows some of the help that came (probably not even the half of it.)
And here where there arrow points at that white rock is where she fell down fromThey were debating about helicoptering her out, but decided on the backboard.

Chase got too cold sitting there watching so we didn't get the see the excitement of lowering her down but I'm sure she got back ok.
Here's the picture I got for my class, so it was worth it in the end.
