Climber fell 30 feet

June 22, 1985 Azalea Trails Camp, San Jacinto Mtns 1985-028

At approximately 4:30 in the afternoon we received a call from the Hemet Station of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department that our technical rock assistance was needed to assist the Pine Cove Fire Department in the rescue of a man who was injured by a 30 foot fall above Azalea Trails. As members started to arrive at the roadhead above the Dark Canyon Campground the fire department along with volunteer help had been able to complete the mission. Members were turned around, and the injured man was taken by ambulance to Camp Maranatha where the Life Flight helicopter was waiting.
