At 10:30 a.m. this morning verbal contact was made between a search team and Lund. Due to no contact with Lund in the the Chaos Canyon area yesterday, search efforts were also made in the Dream Lake and Emerald Lake area today.   Lund was above Emerald Lake in the Tyndall Glacier area not above Lake Haiyaha as he initially reported to park rangers. A search team reached him at 11:06 a.m. They assessed his condition and determined the best way to assist him from the challenging terrain.

Additional gear to help warm Lund were dropped by helicopter on the west shore of Emerald Lake at around 12:30 p.m. Rescuers began moving around Emerald Lake with Lund on foot. Rescuers including a park medic and paramedic walked down the trail and reached the Bear Lake Trailhead at 2:30 p.m. Lund was further assessed and at 3:00 p.m. was taken by ambulance to Estes Park Medical Center.
