Ranger rescue in the Town of Keene. Rangers got a call for a hiker with a torn left quadricep and sprained right ankle near the Little Haystack Mountain summit. The 65-year-old from Slingerlands was accompanied by three other hikers who tried to help keep him going, but were unsuccessful. A NYSP helicopter was called for a hoist rescue and a Ranger was inserted to the location, 4,600 feet up the mountain, and harnessed the injured subject who was then hoisted out and flown to the hospital.
