A rock climber had to be plucked from Lovers Leap after having fallen about 20 feet.

The Aug. 31 incident occurred about 12:15pm. Lake Valley fire, El Dorado County search and rescue, CalFire, CHP and CalSTAR assisted in the rescue.

The man, whose name-age-hometown have not been provided, was stabilized by a rope rescue team. He was then placed in a Bauman Bag and hoisted into a California Highway Patrol helicopter. At the Strawberry meadow he was transferred to CalSTAR, which took him to Renown Medical Center in Reno.
