WOLFE COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — On Tuesday, a woman was rescued by Wolfe County Search & Rescue after she reportedly fell over a cliff at Whistling Arch while attempting to grab her air pods that she dropped.
Officials reported on social media that the team arrived on the scene after receiving a call and found the hiker's location. The team on the scene confirmed that the woman was uninjured and prepared for a "technical rope rescue operation."
According to officials, the woman had slipped down a 15-20 foot cliff and stopped her fall by a tree, preventing a more serious injury from occurring. A team member then repelled down the cliff and placed her in a rescue harness.
She was then pulled to safety by the rescue squad, officials added.
