After a hiker fell down an embankment while on Mount Adams last week, a search and rescue team got some help from the U.S. Army to help the hiker off the mountain, Yakima County Sheriff’s Office deputies said.

According to the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office, in the early morning of August 11 deputies got a phone call from a hiker who had gotten lost on Mount Adams and needed help. Deputies said the hiker had been in the Southwest Chutes on the south side of the mountain when he fell down a 200-foot embankment. The hiker had gotten trapped on the embankment, having lost most of his gear during the fall.

YCSO officials said two search and rescue personnel teamed up, and a U.S. Army helicopter picked them up from the sheriff’s office. The team flew to the hiker, picked him up from the mountain, then flew him back to the sheriff’s office in Yakima. The hiker was safely reunited with family at the office.
