You see I use 02 in a portable 02 generator that works well for me however my battery provides 7 hours of operation. A customer service guy finally brought me a chair and I was able to shut it down while I waited the last hour. They finally replaced the motor and I got down safely with 32 minutes left. I learned a lesson. Never, ever go anywhere without the charger no matter how long you think you will be gone. It was in the car at the bottom. Stupid. They were talking about bringing in Marine Corp helicopters from 29 stumps to evac us. Not very comforting to me as my last chopper trip with the USMC ended prematurely as our flight turned into a cruise. We got down, The tram ride is a do not miss. We stayed up top longer than we planned because although it was cold we had dressed for it and it was a beautiful day.

Dennis, I had no idea of your current medical condition. ya, the extra time spent without the proper clothing and more importantly, necessary medical equipment (charger) would definitely be a bummer! The fact the were willing to call in the cavalry was pretty cool. Glad everything worked out.
