Dramatic footage shows the helicopter rescue of a climber who plummeted at least 700 feet from the face of Mt. Hood in on Saturday.
The man, identified as a 43-year-old from the suburb of Happy Valley, reportedly lost his grip on his ice axe while climbing a ridge near the mountain's 11,000 foot summit, by a location known as Old Chute.
Witnesses who saw the terrifying plunge said he fell as much as 700 feet, and landed near the Hot Rocks fumarole - a volcanic vent that hot gases are released from - according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
