Watch: Man climbs cliff to propose to girlfriend, has to get rescued later

Nowadays, men seem to be trying to outdo each other in planning out the most epic proposals. A 27-year-old man in California managed to get a yes from his girlfriend after going as far as climbing up a cliff for her but then had to be airlifted later after he got stuck on the way down.

Michael Banks had scaled the 600ft Morro Rock in California to propose to his girlfriend who was watching via Facetime. However, his stunt went embarrassingly wrong when he couldn’t find a way to climb down. The Morro Bayfire department had to fly their helicopter over there to take him away from the spot safely.

Morro Bayfire Captain Todd Gailey that the reason for the fiasco was that Banks had taken a different trail to climb down that was ‘much steeper’ than the one he used to climb up, reports The Chicago Times.
