DeSantis was located early Sunday when rescuers in a helicopter spotted the light from her headlamp. A rescuer was lowered to join her about 8:15 a.m. Sunday but poor weather conditions prevented her from being taken out by helicopter until about 3 p.m.
She had been climbing the Middle Teton with a friend but the two became separated.
DeSantis was exhausted and cold but suffered only minor injuries.
