BOISE, Idaho (AP) - The Owyhee County Sheriff's Office says a 19-year-old climber found dangling from a cliff about 40 feet from the ground in a southwest Idaho canyon was rescued without injuries.
Chief Deputy Bill Detweiler says a private helicopter based in Homedale flew rescue workers to Jump Creek Canyon on Thursday to save the teenager, who called authorities after realizing he didn't have enough rope.
Detweiler says the climber was safely rappelled to the ground.
