Rescue experts at 20 minutes after midnight hoisted to safety a 53-year-old man who fell down a steep cliff at Pekin Ferry Court while looking for his cat.
The case started about 10:20 p.m. Tuesday along the North Fork Lewis River.
Tim Dawdy, a battalion chief with Clark County Fire & Rescue, said firefighters took a boat to the shore.
They scrambled up the cliff to the man with a paramedic and determined that he was injured but not life-threatening, Dawdy said. The man is a Ridgefield resident.
Experts with the countywide Technical Rescue Team came to the top of the cliff with a truck with ropes, pulleys and other gear.
