PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A Portland woman was rescued near the Mt. Hood Summit on Saturday after falling “several hundred feet”, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

At approximately 11:30 a.m., a 36-year-old woman from Portland was coming down the popular south side route on Mt. Hood when she slipped, fell several hundred feet, and sustained injuries.

Volunteers with Portland Mountain Rescue donned respirators and gas monitors last week as they faced the toxic environment created by volcanic vents at the Devil’s Kitchen fumarole on Mount Hood.
