A Burbank man rock climbing in Joshua Tree National Park Sunday, Jan. 29 was rescued by helicopter after he fell 30 feet and suffered serious injuries, authorities say.

Colin Campbell, 26, was climbing in the area known as Jumbo Rocks when he fell about 11 a.m. Sunday, according to a San Bernardino County sheriff’s news release.

San Bernardino County firefighters who hiked to Campbell’s location called for a sheriff’s helicopter to perform a hoist rescue due to distance from the nearest road and rocky terrain, the news release states.

Sheriff’s Corporal Michael Gilley and Deputy Gordon Yee hovered over the location as Deputy Steve Miller lowered Flight Nurse Kenney Lard approximately 100 feet down into the location,” the news release states. “Campbell was secured into a basket and hoisted into the helicopter.”

Campbell was flown to Desert Regional Medical Center for treatment.
