Ten meters into the rope
Climber seriously injured in a fall in Tyrol
A terrible alpine accident on Saturday in the Tyrolean lowlands: a German climber (34) lost his footing in the Kaiser Mountains and fell ten meters into the rope. He suffered serious injuries. The man had to be rescued by helicopter rope and flown to hospital.
Together with a fellow countryman (29), the 34-year-old German was climbing the route called "Hazo Fantastica" on Sonneck in the Kaiser Mountains near Scheffau.
Slipped off the rock face
Then it happened at the top of the tour. "The 34-year-old slipped off the wall and fell about ten meters into the rope," reported the police. It was no longer possible to continue. The duo made an emergency call.
Rescue by helicopter rope
The German suffered serious injuries to his leg in the fall. He had to be rescued by the emergency helicopter using a rope. He then received initial treatment from the crew and mountain rescuers at a nearby landing site.
He was then flown to the district hospital in Kufstein. His uninjured companion was brought down to the valley by the Scheffau mountain rescue team.
