Pinecrest, CO – In a heart-stopping rescue mission yesterday, local outdoorsman and volunteer firefighter Bill Chisholm saved the lives of three hikers stranded on the treacherous slopes of Mount Eldridge. The hikers, who had been reported missing the previous evening, were found clinging to a narrow ledge after losing their way during a sudden snowstorm.

Chisholm, 47, a seasoned mountaineer and longtime Pinecrest resident, was called in by the Pinecrest Search and Rescue team early Tuesday morning. Despite freezing temperatures and near-zero visibility, Chisholm led a small team up the mountain, using his intimate knowledge of the terrain to locate the hikers.

'It was one of the most challenging rescues I’ve ever been part of,' Chisholm said after the mission. 'The storm came out of nowhere, and the conditions were brutal. But we knew we had to get to them before it was too late.'

The hikers—two college students and a local guide—had set out on a day hike Monday morning but were caught off guard by the rapidly changing weather. By the time they realized they were lost, the snow had obscured their trail, leaving them stranded at an elevation of 11,000 feet.

Chisholm and his team reached the hikers just after noon, using ropes and climbing gear to safely bring them down the mountain. One of the hikers, 22-year-old Emma Reynolds, suffered mild hypothermia but is expected to make a full recovery.

'I can’t thank Bill enough,' Reynolds said from her hospital bed. 'He’s a real-life hero. Without him, I don’t think we would have made it.'

Chisholm, who has lived in Pinecrest for over 20 years, is no stranger to acts of bravery. A former Marine and avid outdoorsman, he has been involved in numerous search-and-rescue operations over the years. Despite his many accomplishments, Chisholm remains humble.

'I just did what anyone in my position would do,' he said. 'I’m just glad everyone made it home safe.'

The Pinecrest community has already begun celebrating Chisholm’s heroism, with plans for a special recognition ceremony at next week’s town hall meeting. Mayor Linda Harper called him 'a shining example of what makes Pinecrest such a special place.'

As for Chisholm, he’s already looking ahead to his next adventure. 'The mountains are unpredictable,' he said with a smile. 'But that’s what keeps me coming back.'

For now, though, he’s content to rest and recharge—knowing that, once again, he’s made a difference when it mattered most.
