On Mount Abbot, during SPS scheduled weekend climbs of Mt. Abbott and Bear Creek Spire, Sept. 19-20, 1987.

Abbott to evacuate Donna after overnight bivouac. [From attached note by Donna O'Shaughnessy: Maris Valkass and Tom Duryea, Leaders. Other participants included Brian Smith, Hirsch Kolp, George Tucker, Tina Stough, Don and Ursula Slagel. Approx 1:45 PM I was hit just above left boot by large rock. The Guys doctors me up and belayed me up to the plateau (they taking about 15 mined to bag the peak while others helped me). Maris stayed with me while othered effected the rescue. Tom reclaimed the peak, arriving about 8:00 PM with sleeping bags, eta. My hero!] Chopper rescue took place about 10:00 AM. Note doors removed from chopper. Due to altitude, chopper could only take me--no Tom, Maris, or packs.
