Face of Nation : Two teenagers were rescued from Scarborough Bluffs Sunday night.

Toronto Fire district chief Stephan Powell said the call came in just after 7 p.m.

The two teenagers climbed within 20 feet of the peak, but became stuck and couldn’t climb higher or get down, he said.

Toronto Fire used their technical rescue squad to get to the pair, Powell said. Rappellers went to the top and brought the teens down to safety about an hour later.

Toronto Fire chief Matthew Pegg said in a tweet that Toronto Fire used high angle ropes in the rescue.

Powell said both teenagers were apparently unharmed.

In May, a couple was rescued from the Bluffs after falling over the edge onto a slope.

“The bluffs are a beautiful place to see — from a safe distance!” Pegg said on Twitter Sunday night.
