I am typing this from the hospital with Quinn. My family and I can't thank you all enough for your actions and support over the last few days. Additionally, there are a number of people who played key roles that we would like to thank personally, because without your effort we would likely be looking at a significantly different landscape. We are extremely grateful to the following people:
Josie, for your quick thinking and your ability to leverage all of your experience to expedite Quinn’s rescue. Despite all of your climbing, rigging, and rescue experience, I can’t imagine it was easy for you to go through what you did with Quinn and still have the capacity to focus and immediately come to her aid. My family and I will be eternally grateful for everything that you have done. Thank you!
Libby, for dropping everything you were doing and being the first one here at the hospital with Quinn. Your support, boundless energy, drive, and ability to stay focused has been a tremendous asset. Also, thank you for all the time and effort you put into establishing the outreach and communication platforms. I have been in a daze since Wednesday, and I would still be spinning my wheels without your support. Thank you!
Rescue team (including YOSAR, pilots, spotters, and the rest of your support team), for your astounding skill and bravery. Since I was a child visiting Yosemite National Park in the 80’s, I have not only admired those strong enough to climb the great Yosemite walls, but also those who are brave AND strong enough to put themselves at risk while rescuing the climbers in need. Thank you!
Tom Evans, for your photography skills and overall contributions to the climbing community. I have followed your reports for years, admiring the quality of the images and amazing feats you captured through your lens. Quinn is modest and not much of a self-promotor, so your reports and photographs helped me keep tabs on my sister and witness her amazing adventures from afar. I’m grateful that you were in the valley last week and able to document the rescue. Your photographs capture not only the severity of the situation, but also the bravery off those who rescued her. Thank you!
There are many more people I have yet to thank, or thank again, but the ST community and those folks I wrote about above deserve special recognition.
Best,
Cory Brett

Hey Quinn... I don't know you but we have a ton of mutual friends. I've been thinking so much about you and wanted to share a handstand photo in support of you, your recovery and amazing spirit. This is from maple 🍁 canyon a few years ago. Much love and strength to you on this crazy journey we call life.

What’s the difference between a Catholic priest and a zit?
A zit will wait until you’re twelve before it comes on your face.
:) have a great day!

Read the interview earlier today.
Quinn's got moxie and a lot of friends.
To be sure, I'm praying for 100% recovery.
