An unforgettable rescue | Adirondack Explorer
It was 14 years ago that Peter Buccinna almost died on Saddleback Mountain. The experienced hiker was out climbing with friends on Jan. 16, 2007, when a misstep sent him sliding 400 feet down an open rock face. Buccinna broke his leg and pelvis. His rescue is one that gets recounted by rescuers and locals. It was one of the worst accidents in recent memory.
