An injured climber was rescued after a fall Tuesday on Mt. Hood.
The 43-year-old climber tripped and fell in a steep area called Old Chute. He suffered a leg injury in the fall.
Using a specialized litter, teams transported him to Timberline Lodge.
Portland Mountain Rescue says this is the time of year when rock and ice fall are major hazards and climbing routes grow increasingly more difficult as you approach the summit. They urge climbers to get proper training or climb with a qualified guide.
