WOMAN RESCUED FROM 100-FOOT-CLIFF IN PASADENA

By Christina Pascucci

A sheriff's search and rescue crew used a helicopter to rescue a young woman stuck on a cliff Sunday in Pasadena and authorities released the dramatic video Monday.

The video is from the "helmet cam" of an Los Angeles County Sheriff's Air Rescue deputy as he rescued the 19-year-old woman from a cliff in Millard Canyon.

The woman was hiking Sunday in the canyon with two other teens when they made their way up a steep ravine and got stuck, sheriff's officials said.

 A U.S. Forestry Recreation Technician working in the Angeles National Forest was the first to notice the stranded teens. The technician notified authorities.

The 19-year-old woman was stuck on a cliff with a 100-foot drop.

A deputy paramedic with sheriff's helicopter Air-5 Rescue was lowered from as the craft hovered above the canyon.

It took several attempts for the deputy to reach the woman. After the deputy rescued her, she was pulled into the helicopter. The crew then flew her to Farnsworth Park in Altadena.

She was uninjured.

Meanwhile, the other members of the woman's group -- a 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old woman -- were trapped about 40 feet above the canyon bottom.

Deputies and firefighters set up a rope system, then lowered the two teens to safety. They both hiked out of the canyon uninjured with the deputies.

The three teens were reunited with a fourth member of their hiking group, an 18-year-old man, who had been able to hike out on his own.
