One story mentioned it was the second rope rescue in the gorge in 24 hours--apparently someone also fell 150' on a trail around Multnomah Falls? I hadn't heard anything about that one.

Based on that one photo it looks like the guy fell from the trail down to the creek at a spot downstream from the falls.
