A climber in Arizona was rescued from a steep spire on Sunday night after her leg got stuck in a crack in the rock and stranded her about 200 feet off the ground, authorities said.

The 25-year-old woman was scaling the Queen Victoria Spire near Schnebly Hill Road in Sedona with a group of four other climbers when her right leg slipped into the crack and trapped her, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office said.

The climber had just begun the second pitch of the climb, about 200 feet above the ground and 150 feet below the summit, when she got stuck, according to officials. 

She was reported to be in some pain but had no obvious injuries.
