Rope Trapped – Trapped in Rock Face: Climber Rescued by Helicopter

Date:

Spectacular rescue operation in Tyrol: A local climber came neither forward nor backward in the Martinswand near Zirl (Innsbruck-Land district) on Monday afternoon. The police helicopter had to turn out to rescue the man.

The local was on the “Rucola” route with two fellow climbers and already on the way back. He was the first of the three climbers to abseil. According to the police, the athlete should have gotten his rope stuck in a rock niche.

Then the climber probably didn’t know what to do anymore, the police helicopter Libelle had to go up.

The helicopter then rescued the climber from the wall with a rope. The athlete was unharmed. His two comrades descended independently into the valley.
