Tragedy in Upper Austria
Crashed alpinist lay on the mountain for a day
He was well equipped, knew the mountain - and yet a local fell on the Katrin in Bad Ischl. But the accident went unnoticed for a long time, and it was only a day later that other alpinists found the victim by chance. By then, all help had come too late.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen A 56-year-old from Bad Ischl wanted to climb the Katrin via ferrata in the municipality of Bad Ischl at around 3 pm on Saturday. He already knew the via ferrata from a previous ascent and was adequately equipped for the alpine undertaking.
Dangerous point became his undoing
The approach to the via ferrata requires surefootedness and the 56-year-old may have lost his footing or balance at an exposed point, which is also secured with a fixed rope, and fell around 50 meters through steep and rocky forest terrain.
He suffered fatal injuries and was only discovered by chance at around 1.15 p.m. on Sunday by mountaineers passing above.
