Emergency call made
Thunderstorm: Six climbers rescued from rock face
Thunderstorms were forecast - and they came: But some were not deterred by the weather forecasts. This was precisely the fate of six climbers in Kramsach in the Tyrolean lowlands on Sunday. They had to be rescued from a rock face.
On Sunday afternoon, a 34-year-old local wanted to conquer the Reintalersee via ferrata in Kramsach alone. During the ascent, it suddenly started to rain heavily at around 4.45 pm - a thunderstorm was approaching!
Climber was unable to continue
"The climber, who was between positions 4 and 5, no longer felt able to continue climbing", according to the police. The climber made an emergency call. He was eventually rescued from the wall by the Kramsach mountain rescue team and roped down into the valley.
Group of five encountered
But that was not all: at this point, a group of five people from the Czech Republic were also on the via ferrata. "They were encountered by chance by the mountain rescuers during the rescue of the Austrian", the investigators continued.
The five alpinists were also unable to make it any further and had to be rescued by the emergency services terrestrially along the via ferrata to the top. They were then escorted down to the valley by mountain rescuers. Luckily, all six rescued climbers were uninjured.
