Girls trapped on cliff near Bridal Veil Falls
Two girls hiking near Bridal Veil Falls got stuck in precarious cliffs. SAR teams hiked in from above and below and lowered the girls over a pair of cliff bands to a safe exit.
The girls felt that they weren’t in serious danger, but experienced climbers on the team felt otherwise, pointing out that a tiny slip on the area’s typically-rotten rock could have been fatal.
