Talon Lobaugh, owner of Everybody s Tree Service, was called by Juneau Mountain Rescue to aid in a paraglider s removal from a tree Sunday night.
I was called in around six o clock, and they asked me if I was willing to go do a paraglider rescue, Lobaugh said. Somebody apparently had gotten caught in between two treetops up on Mount Roberts and they were about 60 feet off the ground, suspended.
