Description
A hiker is alive after falling more than 1,200 feet down a ravine on Mt. Ellinor in the Olympic National Forest. Rescuers lifted him to safety and he was treated at Harborview Medical Center with a broken arm, hypothermia symptoms and abrasions.
Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Search and Rescue says the hiker's partner called 911 and the Mason County Sheriff's Department reached out to the Air Force coordination center that checks for military capabilities in a given area. NAS Whidbey SAR had the bandwidth to respond, and a crew was en route to Mt. Ellinor around 6:20 p.m.
