The pair were fishing when one of them, an elderly male, suffered a medical emergency and could not climb to safety.

A California Highway Patrol helicopter was in the air over San Francisco when a call came in about an injured person stranded on a cliff near Mori Point in Pacifica.

The North County Fire Authority also responded to the scene.

Video shared by CHP Golden Gate Division Air Operations shows the helicopter crew lowering a firefighter down to the cliff edge to rescue the pair one at a time.
