Entangled in rope
63-year-old rescued from Drachenwand by helicopter
A 63-year-old mountaineer used the sunny Sunday for a trip to the Drachenwand (Upper Austria). However, he ran into problems on the descent and was unable to continue on his own. With the help of the police helicopter, he was rescued with a rope.
A 63-year-old mountaineer from Salzburg climbed to the summit of the Drachenwand via the via ferrata at around 11.30 am on Sunday. He then wanted to abseil down the abseil slope using a rope he had brought with him, but was unable to continue after the first rope length. Apparently the rope caught on him, which is why he could no longer pull it off. He then made an emergency call on his cell phone.
A team from the Mondsee mountain rescue service climbed up to him. He was rescued unharmed at 2.55 pm by the "Libelle Golf" police helicopter team from Linz using a variable rope (approx. 60 meters).
