Enderby cliff rescue

Vernon Search and Rescue crews were called into action after a woman became stranded on the Enderby Cliffs on July 14

Vernon Search and Rescue crews were called into action after a woman became stranded on the Enderby Cliffs on July 14.

The woman, who is in her 30s, went hiking alone Tuesday afternoon.

“She had never been there before, it’s a difficult climb and it was hot out. She got exhausted,” said Leigh Pearson, with Vernon Search and Rescue.

Instead of sticking to the trail, the woman attempted to take a shortcut across country.

The woman used a cellular phone to call for help and it took search volunteers two hours to walk into the area.

A helicopter was used to remove the woman from the scene.
