dangling at an elevation of 8,750 feet Yes, they were really, really high up, but not THAT high off the ground. Above sea level, yes. Way to exaggerate.

When at the tower, about 65 feet from the car to the ground. But between towers where they originally stopped, the distance to the ground is much greater (hundreds of feet), and I believe they spent most of the night away from the tower swaying in 40 mph winds.
Below is a video link to the helicopter portion of the rescue:

LOL The Blackcomb-Whistler tram, which I rode about 35-40(?) years ago, did seem about that high off the ground.
