On Sunday, in the presence of several witnesses, a 61-year-old from the Liezen district fell about 50 meters on the Kampermauer (municipality of Weyer). For the experienced athlete, all help came too late; even resuscitation measures that were immediately initiated no longer helped.
On Sunday around 2:20 p.m., witnesses reported that a person had fallen from a great height on the Kampermauer in the municipality of Weyer.

Several climbers present attempted CPR until the emergency medical team arrived, but tragically all help came too late for the climber.
Unknotted rope ends
