BIG SUR, Calif. (KION-TV) -- Multiple agencies along the Big Sur Coast were able to rescue a hiker who fell 200 feet down a cliff on Monday.

Video from the CHP Coastal Division shows the rescue.

The crew saying due to the tall trees along Coast Ridge Road and Pine Ridge Trail, they had a hard time navigating their hoist cable between the trees to perform the rescue.

Still, the crew's persistence paid off and they were able to pull the hiker up and out of the area.

Rescue crews said the patient is being treated now for their injuries.
