▲ Why this matters

Shortoff Mountain needed a rescue extraction on August 31st. A regional squad made the call and got someone out. The details are thin, which means either the person is fine and the story is already over, or the reporting is still catching up. Either way, somebody had to go up that rock face and bring someone down, which is work that does not get easier in August heat.
