Crews rescue woman found clinging to cliff near San Francisco’s Cliff House at end of Ocean Beach

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — San Francisco fire crews swiftly rescued a woman who was found clinging to the side of a cliff near the Cliff House on Wednesday.

SKY7 was over the entire rescue operation, and when they first arrived on scene, they spotted a woman in a bikini about 70 feet down the cliff.

Firefighters were able to first drop down a rescue cable for the woman to secure herself.

One firefighter then had to rappel down the cliff and strap a harness and a helmet onto the woman. It took a few tense minutes to get moving, but rescue crews were able to walk the woman safely up the cliff.

The woman was placed into an ambulance as firefighters evaluated her to determine if she needed to be taken to the hospital.
