Hamilton firefighters conducted a rope rescue on the escarpment this afternoon.
Fire Safety Officer Claudio Mostacci says about 20 firefighters responded to the scene at the top of the West 5th hill just before 12:30pm.
The patient was about 100 feet down and required emergency crews to lower a basket to retrieve them.
James Mountain Rd at the bottom of the access was closed for a few hours during the rescue but has reopened to traffic.
