She's done this hike before. As the seventy nine one year old made it to the top, she left some flowers and began heading back down. She stepped in a hole, fell forward and broke her leg. She cried out for help, and before long three young hikers came to her side and called nine one one. Troy is twenty years old and said, I knew I was capable of carrying her down. I really didn't make much of a decision. I just knew I had to carry her down if I could. Lifting her gently onto his back, he began the slow, careful journey downhill, hiking three quarters of the one point eight miles that remained on the journey. On the way, they passed occupational therapist Emily, who helped Ursula through some breathing exercises to cut the pain.
