Climber Rescued After 700-Foot Fall on California Peak
An injured Bay Area climber was rescued after a roughly 700‑foot fall on Mount Shasta, one of the first major search‑and‑rescue incidents on the peak this year. Two climbers, ages 19 and 20, reached the summit before a slip in Avalanche Gulch sent one down hundreds of feet.

Officials used the incident to warn that late‑day descents on the mountain are especially dangerous.
