AMAZING RESCUE: CLIFFHANGER

DAVID MUIR (ABC NEWS)(OC): And now to [1]that white knuckle rescue playing out for much of the afternoon on a steep cliff out west, [2]a man and his dog, dangling and rescuers proving their might.  ABC's Clayton Sandell was there as this unfolded.

CLAYTON SANDELL (ABC NEWS)(VO): It started as [3]a normal family hike that [4]in an instant plunged 19-year-old Ivan Solas into a nightmare.  Ivan was [5]hiking along this ridge with his brother and father when his dad [6]threw a bottle over the edge of a 300-foot drop.  That's when Lola, a year old German Shepherd mix, [7]fetched.  She [8]slid down the side of the ravine, 150 feet from the bottom.  Ivan tried to rescue her then needed his own rescue.

RICK COMBS (LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT): [9]The terrain itself was very steep.

CLAYTON SANDELL (ABC NEWS)(VO): [10]35 firefighters responded as Ivan and Lola waited for 90 long minutes, [11]dangling precariously as rescuers [12]inched closer on an unstable hillside.  They wanted to use a helicopter to [13]hoist them out, but [14]the wind from the rotor blades forced them to plan b.

RICK COMBS (LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT): We were able to take members from the top of the ridge top, [15]rappel down, [16]secure the victim, along with his dog and lower them to safety.

CLAYTON SANDELL (ABC NEWS)(VO): Finally, rescuers were able to [17]get a harness and leash on Lola.  Then, Ivan and a rescuer slowly rappelled down.  They were unhurt.  We met Ivan at the bottom of the of the ravine.

CLAYTON SANDELL (ABC NEWS)(OC): How long were you up there?

IVAN SOLAS (RESCUED): Like, for two hours.

CLAYTON SANDELL (ABC NEWS)(OC): Two hours.  How scary was it?

IVAN SOLAS (RESCUED): It was very scary.

CLAYTON SANDELL (ABC NEWS)(OC): What do you think of these firefighters who came to rescue you?

IVAN SOLAS (RESCUED): They helped me.  I appreciate it.

CLAYTON SANDELL (ABC NEWS)(VO): Two hours later, Ivan [18]was back in the arms of his family, [19]no worse for the wear.

CLAYTON SANDELL (ABC NEWS)(OC): Now, Ivan says he wants to take those firefighters and [20]treat them to dinner.  He also says he'll be back in these hills soon.  He says that's how he [21]gets his daily exercise.  And finally, David, he says that if he had to go over the edge to rescue his dog, he'd do it all over again.  David?
