BIG SKY – A rock climber fell nearly 100 feet yesterday morning near Bear Basin, sustaining multiple injuries. The entire group of climbers, including the one who fell, was on a small ledge about 300 feet above the ground when they called Gallatin County Dispatch for rescue help.
Multiple rescue teams including the Gallatin County Sheriff Search and Rescue Big Sky Section, the SAR Helicopter Team, Big Sky Fire Department and Life Flight were dispatched on the rescue. After technical rescue efforts by SAR teams, the fallen climber was lifted off the ledge by a helicopter and brought to Bozeman Health for medical treatment. The rest of the group was brought out by helicopter as well.
According to Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer, the rescue was “extremely difficult and technical,” but the group of climbers had the proper gear to call for help and relayed pertinent information about the terrain.
As of the publication of this story, the status of the climber and their name has not been released.

Event Details
We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
