Teen plunges 30 feet down cliff, lands on ledge in New Hampshire park, rescuers say

A teenager plunged 30 feet down a cliff before landing on a ledge in New Hampshire, rescuers said.

The 15-year-old fell from a landing onto a perch in the rock at Rock Rimmon Park around 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27, the Manchester Fire Department told several news stations.

The perch was about 30 feet above the ground , WMUR reported.

“The boy was conscious and breathing when rescuers reached him,” NBC Boston reported.

Rescuers set up a rope system to lower him to the ground , the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.

The rescue took about 20 minutes and he was taken to a hospital, the stations reported.

Rock Rimmon is a 140-acre park against the backdrop of a granite cliff that’s popular with locals, according to the city of Manchester website.

Visitors can take a short hike to the 150-foot summit, view the Uncanoonuc Mountains and their foothills, and have a picnic at the top of the cliff, the website says.

Manchester is about a 20-mile drive south from Concord.
