PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon Army National Guard helicopter airlifted an injured climber off Mount Hood on Sunday.
Chris Biddle, age 39, of Puyallup, Wash., tumbled 300 feet down snow and ice, suffering injuries to his arm, leg and head, sheriff’s deputies said.
The fall occurred in an area known as Crater Rock at the 10,500 feet elevation, where rescuers said the terrain is steep and tough.
