A 29-year-old man was rescued after he fell while climbing a bluff in Sea Ranch, an unincorporated community in Sonoma County, early this morning, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s Henry-1 helicopter crew responded to Sea Ranch around 3:10 a.m. on a report of a man who fell from a bluff, sheriff’s Sgt. Pete Quartarolo said.
The helicopter crew arrived shortly after 4 a.m. and located the man below a bluff on a beach, where by emergency crews were aiding him, according to Quartarolo.
