Cliff Rescue


Rescue workers bring Andrew Scott, 19, of Mount Washington, down the hillside near the Monongahela Incline on Thursday evening on the South Side. Scott was spotted by a passenger on the incline who saw him sitting on the hillside. He had decided to scale down the hillside instead of using the incline, and was more than half-way down when he fell and injured himself, about 50 feet from the bottom of the cliff.

Didn't these guys know you have experience helping to haul folks out of a ravine?

Somewhere I still have a photo of YOU pulling a guy up a cliff somewhere in Washington Township or some damn place.

Oh...the good old days. I forgot all about that photo. I'd really love to see it again if you ever dig it up.
