On July 18th, 2010 at around 0815 hours the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office was notified of an elderly male who had passed out and was still unconscious on the trail to Crater Lake. This was in the Maroon Bells Wilderness area.
A sheriff’s deputy and paramedics responded and hiked up the trail about 1.25 miles where they found the person. This was 71 year-old Geoffrey Buxton of Arizona who had been hiking with his family. When the deputy and paramedics got to Mr. Buxton he was awake and alert. However, after examining Mr. Buxton it was decided the best way to extricate him would be a “carry out” by Mountain Rescue Aspen who had been alerted to this incident.
Members of MRA arrived shortly afterward with a one-wheeled litter and Mr. Buxton was safely transported back down the trail to the ambulance at 10:15. Mr. Buxton was then brought to Aspen Valley Hospital.
