Russ McCrone was climbing with the woman, who is named Christina.
He says she fell about 40 feet and was “holding her hip” after falling.
It took more than two hours for emergency crews to rescue the woman. Because of where she was located she had to be removed via helicopter and was taken out in a long-line basket.
A witness says she saw the climbers in an area that is clearly marked out of bounds.
