Mountain Rescue Aspen crews responded to the crash, and an Aspen Mountain ranger made contact with the injured duo shortly before 11 a.m. Sunday, according to a news release from the Pitkin County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The second person had to be rescued from the mountain using a stretcher and a rope system, according to the release. Paramedics took the recreationist to the hospital in unknown condition.<\/p>\n
