Rescue workers banded together on Tuesday to retrieve a naked woman from the side of a cliff in the San Diego area. The woman was apparently trying to reach Black's Beach, a traditionally clothing-optional beach below the cliff at Torrey Pines State Park. San Diego Fire and Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque told the story.

It took lifeguards about 30 minutes to rig a series of rescue ropes. A female lifeguard then rappelled about a third of the way down the 500-foot cliff to an exposed ledge, where the very exposed 27-year-old woman was stuck.
After hooking up the young woman in a rescue harness, the lifeguard helped her rappel to the beach several hundred feet below, where she was provided with clothing. The entire operation took about an hour from start to finish.
The young woman was unharmed, Luque said. She will not be charged for the rescue, he added.

If you see the pictures - the ones showing the actual cliff face - you gotta wonder what the heck she was thinking or how she even got there. Even with the appropriate clothes for climbing, it would have been quite the feat.
Makes you wonder if she was on something.
