Central Okanagan Search and Rescue came to the aid of an injured rock climber on Saturday morning.
COSAR said crews were called to trestle No. 18 in Myra Canyon around 11 a.m., and that a bike team was the first to arrive.
That crew administered first aid while waiting for a stretcher and a utility terrain vehicle (UTV).
