BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — A Coast Guard helicopter from Port Angeles rescued a climber who had fallen and suffered a shoulder injury near Mount Baker.

The Coast Guard says two park rangers had reached the woman Sunday but were unable to move her from her location, at an elevation of about 5,000 feet.

The helicopter flew her to a hospital in Bellingham.
