MOOSE, Wyo. (AP) - A woman injured while climbing the Grand Teton was rescued Tuesday.
Angela Edlinger, 18, of New York state, suffered a shin injury while stepping between two rocks while she and her companion, Pete Marsiglio, 30, were descending from a day climb, Grand Teton National Park officials said.
Park rangers who happened to be descending the nearby Middle Teton were notified and reached her about 9 p.m. Monday, two hours after she was injured.
Ranger determined her injury was not serious enough to warrant immediate evacuation, so they camped overnight with her, then helped her walk to Garnet Canyon Tuesday.
Two rangers with pack horses met them and Edlinger was carried out on horseback in the afternoon.
