WOODSTOCK, Maine (AP) Officials say a rock climber from California who suffered a severe head injury on Maine’s Bald Mountain is recovering in a hospital.

Officials say 28-year-old Shannon Ashley Power, of San Diego, tumbled about 15 feet and was caught by her safety rope, but she smashed into the rock race on Tuesday.

The Maine Forest Service used a helicopter to get Power to a nearby field, where a LifeFlight helicopter was waiting to transport her to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.

The fall took place in an area known as Shagg Crag, a granite wall that’s popular with rock climbers.
