It took 35 rescue personnel to get a naked student, who was high on mushrooms, off a mountain in Colorado, reported theSmokingGun.com.

Taylor Powers, a 21-year-old undergrad student at the University of Colorado Boulder, had gone hiking with her two 21-year-old roommates Sunday and when she ingested mushrooms. Next, she removed all her clothes and it took both roommates, Brian Mulligan and William Collins to restrain her while the authorities arrived.

According to the Boulder County Sheriff's office, Mulligan and Collins placed a 911 call at 5:24 p.m. Sunday and told police Powers was high on mushrooms and in distress.

She was located by a park ranger at about 5:48 p.m. high up between the second and third flatirons in Chautauqua Park.

A press release form the Boulder County Sheriff's office confirms it took the 35 rescuers from the Sheriff's office, Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, Boulder Fire Rescue, the Rocky Mountain Rescue Group and an American Medical Response ambulance an hour to restrain, cuff and get Powers into a rescue basket and down the mountain.

When they did succeed, around 7:50 p.m., she was transported to Boulder Community Hospital where she was treated and released later that night.

Powers was issued a summons for unlawful consumption of a controlled substance. Charges against her roommates are currently pending, but what those charges may be is still unknown.

"Further charges are pending against others involved," said deputies of the Sheriff who aided in the rescue.

Powers, a communications major, has not spoken to the media since the incident nor has she released any sort of public statement regarding her most recent day trip, including on her Facebook page, which contains photos of her hiking and skiing.
