From the Oregon Herald:
Water rescue teams were unable to reach him Saturday night, and the efforts were suspended until daybreak Sunday. A Blackhawk helicopter crew from the Army Air National Guard arrived Sunday morning, but the rotor wash triggered a landslide that sent large rocks and trees down toward Mishra and members of Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue, who were assessing Mishra’s location.
Authorities determined that it was too dangerous to keep using the helicopter. Instead, a rescuer rappelled down to him, helped him into a harness and then hoisted him about 100 feet up the cliff. Members of the search-and-rescue team placed his arm in a sling and walked with him one-quarter mile to a waiting ambulance.
