Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue teams rescued a climber Monday who had fallen on Mount Hood. The climber was reported to be in stable condition and was brought down by rescuers to Timberline Lodge late Monday afternoon to a waiting ambulance. The climber, a 16-year-old, sustained a leg injury after falling approximately 500 feet. "The climber fell from the Pearly Gates area of Mt. Hood (just below the final push to the summit) down to the Devil's Kitchen," CCSO said in a statement. The call about the fallen and injured teen came in around 9 a.m., according to CCSO. Due to the elevation, the first rescuers didn't reach the injured climber until approximately 1 p.m. That is when they began administering treatment and put a splint on the injured leg. CCSO said Portland Mountain Rescue, Hood River Crag Rats and AMR assisted in the rescue.
