Carelessness was the undoing of a British mountaineer (33) in the Tyrolean lowlands on Sunday. The man fell in a gully and dislocated his shoulder in the process. It was not possible to continue. The injured man was finally rescued by helicopter rope.
The Briton, who lives in Germany, was hiking with friends on Sunday from the summit of the 2007-metre-high "Hinterunnutz" on the red-marked path towards Zöhreralm in the municipality of Achenkirch.
"Fell out of carelessness"
"Shortly before 1 p.m., the 33-year-old slipped carelessly in a gravel gully at an altitude of 1570 meters. He fell and injured his shoulder," reported the police.
He was diagnosed with a shoulder dislocation in hospital.
