ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. (KERO) — Imagine trying to rescue a hiker in steep terrain in the middle of the night.

Those were the conditions the Montrose Search and Rescue Team was facing in California's Angeles National Forest. They say a 23-year-old went down a steep rock wall and couldn't get out.

Rescuers rappelled down and spent the night with the hiker until daybreak when a Los Angeles County fire helicopter offered a lift.
