A Mainer was rescued Tuesday after he fell from a New Hampshire cliff face.
Eric Johansson, 65, was climbing Cannon Cliff in Franconia about 10 a.m. when a rock dislodged, causing him to fall, according to New Hampshire Fish and Game.
Rescuers hiked to the base of the cliff and found him around noon.
He was carried in a litter down to the parking lot, where he arrived just after 2 p.m.
Johansson was then taken to Littleton Regional Hospital for treatment.
Johansson was well-prepared and experienced for the hike, New Hampshire Fish and Game said, adding that his climbing equipment prevented more serious injuries.
