Convservation officers responding to Mt. Washington were diverted to Ammonoosuc Ravine while rescuers that had just come off of the Tuckerman Ravine trail were sent to the Lost Pond trail incident.
A conservation officer then hiked up the trail from the base station of the Cog Railway, making contact around 11 p.m. with Alejandra Ivonne, 32, of Derwood, Maryland, and the Good Samaritan hiker who had stayed with her. Ivonne was hiking Mt. Washington for the first time ever when she became separated from her group. She attempted to descend the mounta but was battered by the weather and became very wet and cold.
Once that rescue was completed, the two conservation officers headed back to Pinkham Notch to assist the other rescue crew that was carrying an injured hiker out of the Lost Pond Trail, officials said. Officials said over the course of several hours, rescuers arrived from all over the region to assist in carrying Ash over a mile of rough trail to a trailhead along Route 16 in Pinkham Notch. They got Ash to a roadside around 1:15 a.m. where an ambulance was waiting for him and took him to Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin for further evaluation and treatment.
