IDAHO FALLS — Matt Berry has climbed mountains all over the world, so when he decided to hike the 18-mile Grand Traverse in Grand Teton National Park last August, he came prepared.
Berry plunged headfirst down the mountain, smashing into rocks and bouncing off ice. He tried to stop himself but couldn't and knew he was headed straight toward a ledge with a massive drop. "I was super dehydrated from the adrenaline dump. I got out my medical kit and start tending to my wounds to stop a bunch of my major bleeds," Berry says.
After 2½ hours, the Teton County Search and Rescue team arrived. Berry was flown off the mountain and taken to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, where two surgical teams were waiting in the trauma center. "He was in pretty rough shape when he came in. He could barely even stand up out of bed," Northrup says. "We worked on lots of little things to get his legs and arms moving and get his strength going. We have a couple of machines that he could get on to slowly get his range of movement back."
After hours of physical therapy, patience and support from his girlfriend and family, Berry was released from the hospital after two weeks. There's been some aches and pains over the past year but he's back to hiking and planning more adventures.
