River Barry, the woman who rescued a badly injured BASE jumper in November of 2022, was one of 17 Americans honored by the Carnegie Hero Fund for “saving others from peril.”
River Barry, 17 others recognized for extraordinary actions taken to save lives.
Thirty-year-old River Barry, who was in the area to go mountain biking, was flagged down by the man’s friend asking if anyone had climbing gear. Barry, a mental health therapist of Millcreek, Utah, went to the scene and used her own climbing gear and recreational experience to ascend a crack that ran up the side of the cliff directly below the injured man. No one had climbed the crack before and locals referred to the sandstone on the cliff as “slick rock” for its slippery conditions.
Those in public safety vocations must go beyond their line of duty to be considered. Relevant training or specialized skills on the part of the rescuer are considered against the requirement of extraordinary risk.
