Melbourne, Mar 25 (ANI): A woman in US, who was heading to a nudist beach, had to be rescued by lifeguards after she got stuck trying to climb down cliffs in the nude.

The woman had taken off her clothes before trying to clamber 137 metres (450ft) down to Black’s Beach, at Torrey Pines State Park, San Diego, California, which is the largest nudist beach in the US, the Daily Telegraph reported.

But the 27-year-old got into difficulties and found herself stranded on a ledge unable to climb back up or head down to the shoreline.

She was saved 15 minutes later when a passer-by spotted her perched precariously on the cliff face and called emergency services.

Officials believe a paraglider could have spotted the woman, as she could not be seen from the top of the cliff face.

When emergency crews arrived they sent down a female lifeguard with some borrowed clothes.

A series of photos from a video taken by Fox5 San Diego show the lifeguard standing over the naked woman and strapping her into a harness first, before helping her into a pair of trousers.

The woman and her rescuer were then gently lowered down to the beach - where she had thrown her clothes before starting the naked climb - using a rope pulley system.

After she got dressed she made her way gingerly back up a safe path to the top of the cliff where she had left her car. She suffered only minor injuries, scraping both knees.

Lieutenant Greg Buchanan told NBC the woman would not be charged, but had been ticketed for disregarding signs warning about the sheer and unstable cliffs, using a path that is not a marked trail and entering a restricted area. (ANI)
