A helicopter was required to rescue a Sonoma County hiker Sunday who climbed a steep cliff face in Jenner and realized they couldn't get back down.
The Sonoma Sheriff's Office said it received a call at approximately 1 p.m. about a hiker stranded on a coastal cliff.
The sheriff's office sent its"Henry-1" helicopter to the rescue. The crew located the climber and decided the safest and most efficient way of rescuing the victim would be to utilize their 100-foot-long line and a"horse collar" rescue device. A paramedic used the line to successfully perform the rescue. The victim was brought to a nearby beach where awaiting fire and medical personnel were staged.
