Three Hikers Rescued from Cliff at Eaton Canyon (Video)

The hikers were airlifted early Sunday evening after they were found holding on for dear life above a 100-foot drop.

Three hikers were airlifted out of Eaton Canyon after they were found clinging on to a cliff 100 feet off the ground, according to sheriff's officials.

The Air 5 rescue team was able to lower the helicopter into the canyon area and send rescuers down by rope to haul the hikers, according to Capt. Mike Parker of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Two Glendale men and one woman were found clinging to a cliff wall and unable to move, told Patch.

The hikers were uninjured and were airlifted and dropped off in a landing area just below the Pinecrest Gate.

The video on right was shot by local resident and reader Peggy Sue Davis and shows the helicopter taking off after dropping the hikers off.

I can well empathsize with your loss. First thing, can you remember taking it off anywhere? DidRead More you wash your hands anywhere, soap makes fingers slippery. Did it fit well or was it a little loose? Running makes the arms swing. Strange as it may seem, it may still be in or on your own property. There are still honest people, call the desk of every business you went to. Also, call every pawn shop in your area and report. Good luck. If its any comfort, I found a diamond studded tie tack when I gazed at the soil in my garden and saw it. Keep us posted. b

I feel bad that teachers are having to pull money out of their own pockets, I wonder whateverRead More happened to the lottery money that was supposed to go to schools? I am a volunteer for an organization that offers free drug education kits to any teacher with booklets on the various harmful drugs . Educators play a vital role for our children and in society and should be supported in any way possible. Any who might be interested, e-mail me at tbadger2000@yahoo.com.
