MOUNT ST. HELENS - A training exercise turned into the real deal on Mount St. Helens after a climber fell and dislocated his knee.
The call for help came in late Tuesday evening and coincidentally, a search and rescue team was on a training mission on the mountain at the time.
The rescuers hauled the man over rocks and snow to get him to safety.
The team finally made it down the mountain just after 4 a.m. on Wednesday.
