Cliff rescue

Around noon this afternoon, a cliff rescue was underway near the Coast Gallery. Apparently, a tourist had fallen down the cliff while taking photographs. Around 12:30, rescuers were speaking with the individual, but hadn’t gotten that person up the side of the cliff. I have no information about the nature of any injuries.

Please be aware when visiting our coast, that climbing on our rocks on the side of the road is ill-advised. Mountain Goats and Condors excepted. It is usually a v-e-r-y long way down.

Thanks Allan Groves for the eyewitness account.

  • Thanks Kate for the updates. Did they get a handle on the FHL Fire? We were up at the place last night & could see the drift smoke as well.
