Helena man rescued from Mount Helena cliff now facing drug charges

The 51-year-old Helena man rescued from a cliff on Monday is now facing drug charges. According to court documents, Robert Dean Hansen, who was stuck about 150 feet on a Mount Helena rock ledge above the “bat cave,” is now in the Lewis and Clark County Detention Center for possession of methamphetamine. Hours of manpower was spent bringing Hansen to safety, who told authorities he had climbed the cliff to “face his fears.” He remained jailed on $10,000 bail.
