Firefighters were called out Saturday afternoon to assist a man who became stuck while climbing up a cliff in the More Mesa area near Goleta, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
The climber, whose name was not released, made it about three-quarters of the way up the cliff from the beach, but was unable to continue, said firefighter Paul Christensen.
Crews from two fire engines and a truck responded to the scene, and were able to help the man make it to the top of the cliff using a rope-rescue system, Christensen said.
The man was examined by paramedics and determined to be uninjured, he said.
