Rescue video shows hikers clinging to the cliff on the top of the Pacific Mountain
A stranded hiker was rescued by a helicopter on Sunday as she spent more than an hour clinging to the side of the steep cliffs of the Pacific Crucifix Trail.
The woman grabbed the horror image on the side of the cliff and dropped hundreds of feet of dripping, captured hundreds of feet by a body camera video posted by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office Airlines.
Rescuers responded to 911 text messages from the Whitewater Conservancy in southern San Bernardino County at 10:11 a.m. According to the sheriff’s department, the woman sent emergency texts using her Garmin-style communications device.
Two helicopter pilots and three crew members found tired hikers stranded on the side of the cliff, about 20 to 30 feet from the plateau. Officials describe the incident as “strong technical rescue” Instagram posts.
Officials said the hiker’s shoes barely grasped the rocks, and she was still packed with supplies with heavy backs.
A rescuer descended from the helicopter and as he moved along the edge of the cliff, he communicated instructions with the pilot – and surrounded the woman. The video shows that at one time, the hiker screamed and grabbed the rescuer’s ear instead of his body.
“He just didn’t take the risk of asking her to raise her arms, and she was obviously grabbing the cliff with the cliff in order to put the rescue belt on,” the airline wrote on Instagram.
After a few minutes of danger, the helicopter carried rescuers and hikers to the top of the plateau. The hiker hasn’t confirmed yet, he releases her gear and quickly grabs a water bottle.
Officials said the hikers were not seriously injured. In the video, there seem to be several bloody scratches on her legs and knees.
“They both took one in the adrenaline dump,” the airline wrote.
