My story is one that took place late spring to
early summer in the year of 1980. On
March 27th of that year Mt. Saint Hellens erupted. My very dear friend who recently passed away,
had told me years ago, that his son who was and is today recognized as an
expert climber.
I was told his son
received a call to do some consulting work. He was asked to put together a
team of climbers who would scale the west side of the mountain. Soon after, he was told to do some training
at a facility with his group. For about 2 week, they train about a dozen men.
They then were told, that these trained men would be heading to a specific location on the mountain to retrieve some equipment. Knowing the mountain,
his son said that with only two weeks training they would never make it. The official asked if it were possible to drop
off the newly trained unit in a safe location near the target by helicopter?
Looking at some
topographical maps they pin pointed where the drop could take place
safely. The big issue was that they
would not be able to remove the men and their cargo by helicopter. He was finally asked if he would take his
team and head up earlier and find a secure way to remove all of them from the mountain.
He talked to his team and they agreed.
Within a few days, his son headed out with
his 5 climbers. Surprising the
most difficult part of the climb was moving through the debris field of trees
until they finally reached rock. I am
told the group then broke into 3 groups of 2.
They would look at different trails in hope that they would find the
right path for minimally trained men to navigate without putting them and
their equipment in danger. They found
that path a couple of days after. They
knew there was no communications. They
regrouped and made the climb but found none of the men they trained at the drop off target.
They spent the day, again split up into 3 groups of 2 until one group of the
climbers made contact with what he called a scout. They headed back to the group and then they
headed back to where they had found the scout.
On their return, they were met with disbelief and what would be the
shock of their lives. They met with an official who at first had difficulty with letting the climbers into the area
where they had blocked off, but soon realized that he needed these climbers to
help them get survivors off the mountain.
Turning
a corner they witnessed a cave. They
also witnessed about a dozen or so body bags. Nothing too strange until they approached the
bags and they thought they were seeing the defensive line of the Chicago
Bears. There were 4 bags about 4 to 5
feet. The rest of the bags were anywhere from 7 to what he described about 10
feet tall. At that time they had not
seen anything but the bags.
It was about
an hour later when 2 Bigfoot stepped out of the cave with what he called a
combination of officials & scientists. The 6 of them could not speak a word, his son
called it, a major case of total shock. There was some communication between the Bigfoot, the official and a
scientist. They were not allowed to go
in the cave, so they set up camp.
The
next day they started their decent.
Nobody said a word, even when they made it back to the base camp.
He told me that his son and others hooked up on
the mountain and stated that there were other rescues going on but none were as
difficult as this location to get in and out.
I was told this information in the late 90’s
We never discussed it again.
