On the Warscheneck
Duo made an emergency call at the summit due to darkness
A Czech duo had to be brought safely down to the valley by mountain rescuers from Wascheneck on Sunday evening. They alerted the rescuers shortly before 8 p.m. because it was getting dark.
On Sunday, a Czech couple aged 25 and 26 climbed from the Wurzeralm parking lot via the "Rote-Wand-Sattel" and the "Toten Mann" to the summit of the Warscheneck. They had planned the challenging south-east ridge as their descent route. As darkness had already fallen and the weather was forecast to be bad, they made an emergency call to the summit at around 7.50 pm.
Slightly hypothermic
The Vorderstoder and Spital am Pyhrn mountain rescue services and an Alpine police officer were deployed. Despite strong winds, the emergency helicopter "Christophorus 14" was able to fly up to the 2000 meter mark and drop off the mountain rescuers. Four of them then climbed to the summit on foot and guided the two slightly hypothermic Czech nationals safely down to the valley.
