Authorities were first made aware of the fall at around 8:45 p.m. on Big Tujunga Canyon Road. When they arrived he was reportedly alert and conscious, but had suffered a serious lower-body injury.
Crews were able to reach the man and placed him inside of a litter basket where he was raised to the road.
He was then transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
