The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Sunday, October 19th, 2008

From the Associated Press:

PORTLAND -- An Oregon Army National Guard helicopter airlifted an injured climber off Mount Hood.

The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said that the climber suffered arm, leg and head injuries in a 300-foot tumble.

A fellow climber reported the fall and stayed with the injured man until a search and rescue crew arrived late Sunday afternoon.

The flight crew said the injured climber was in good condition on his way to a Portland hospital.

His name has not been released.

The Sheriff's Office initially reported that two climbers had fallen, but learned otherwise later in the day.
