Lost equipment
Fallen: mountaineer triggers night-time operation
Late on Sunday evening, mountain rescuers in the Tyrolean lowlands had to rescue a German who had fallen in the dark and lost some of his equipment. The injured man was eventually brought safely down to the valley and taken to hospital.
The 33-year-old German was hiking alone on Sunday via the Weißenbachtal to the Stanser Joch and then wanted to descend via the Brandkögerl back to Jenbach.
Equipment lost in the fall
However, it was already dark on the descent - and at around 9 p.m. it happened: the German fell below the Brandkögerl and slipped over steep terrain. He lost part of his equipment in the process. The man sustained injuries in the fall.
Injured man located by shouting
"The 33-year-old then made an emergency call", according to the police. The alerted mountain rescue team was able to locate the injured man in the area of the suspected crash site by calling out and then rescue him with a pulley to the climb.
He was then brought down to the valley and taken to Schwaz district hospital at around 11.30 pm.
