In a rescue operation today, Squamish Search and Rescue responded to a distress call about a woman who had slipped and fallen down a section of Shannon Falls. She suffered a head injury but managed to remain in place while her friends sought help.

“Just before 11 am this morning, we received a call regarding a woman who had slipped and taken a substantial fall down a section of Shannon Falls. Despite suffering a head injury, she managed to stay put while her friends called for help,” SAR said in a social media post.

With help from Squamish Fire Rescue and Blackcomb helicopters, rescue teams were able to reach the injured woman and successfully extract her using a long-line rescue technique. Squamish SAR urges the public to exercise caution, maintain a safe distance from the fall, and prioritize safety when visiting Shannon Falls.
