Volunteers rigged a pulley system to hoist the man out of the canyon. Two boulders were used as anchors with webbing wrapped around them and connected to a set of fours to float the anchor so the rope did not shred on the sharp rocks.
Help has arrived and this unfortunate man, stuck in the middle of a creek in Box Canyon will have to wait no more for assistance and rescue from fast moving water.
TRSAR Vice Commander Kathy Bass (to the right of subject) and squad member Greg Reed(to the left) help the man the last few feet to the top of Box Canyon.
Tonto Rim Search and Resuce Squad Commander Bill lowered himself into Box Canyon to assist a man who got swept downstream and stranded on a boulder in the middle of the creek.
