Man rescued after being stranded on cliff at SF's Lands End, fire officials say

The San Francisco Fire Department completed a seven-hour technical rescue operation at Dead Man's Point in the Land's End area after an adult became stranded on a cliff, firefighters announced on social media Saturday at around 5:09 a.m. Rescuers initially planned for a helicopter extraction, but dense fog returned as a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter arrived, making an air rescue unsafe, according to the fire department. As conditions worsened and the cliff perch became increasingly unstable, rescue technicians developed a controlled extraction plan. The victim descended the cliff face in a controlled slide and reached the shoreline, sustaining minor injuries, the SFFD said.
