DANVILLE – A Danville teen has been upgraded to fair condition after falling nearly 300 feet down a cliff in Mayberry Township on Monday afternoon.  17-year-old Jared Jordan was upgraded from serious condition to fair condition at Geisinger Medical Center.

He and a friend, 19-year-old Luke Maffei, were hiking on a cliff known as Zen Rock, when Jordan fell.  It took 90 minutes for rescue crews to get Jordan to safety using a rope.  Maffei sustained minor injuries trying to help rescue Jordan.  (Ali Stevens)
