Officials say a helicopter is on its way to rescue the climber.

This comes after two consecutive days of rockslides at Yosemite. On Wednesday, one person died after a large rock fell near the East Buttress climbing route on El Capitan at around 1: 55 p.m. Then a second massive rock fall hit the park on Thursday.
