The Marin County Search and Rescue Team helped save a 19-year-old man in Yosemite over the weekend.

The members, who are all volunteers, were in the park training when some hikers said a man had fallen and was stuck at the edge of Vernal Fall.

The team secured some lines and then assisted Yosemite rangers as they pulled the man to safety and then carried him down the mountain.
