55-year-old crashed
Snowfield was an alpinist’s undoing
While crossing the Alps on Tuesday, a German mountaineer (55) was confronted with snowfields. Despite having the right equipment, he fell.
The man from Munich was crossing the Alps alone from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Merano. On the ascent from the Coburger Hütte in the direction of the Grünsteinscharte, he was actually using suitable Grödeln (so-called half crampons).
Suddenly slipped
Despite this, he slipped on a steep snow field below the saddle (approx. 2,200 meters) at around 1 p.m. and fell about 50 meters further. He sustained serious injuries in the process.
Helicopter alerted
He called the emergency services. The crew of the Martin 2 emergency helicopter carried out the rescue and flew him to a private clinic in Imst for treatment.
