A 26-year-old woman died after falling several hundred feet while free solo climbing in Colorado.
The Fox reported noted a 27-year-old man was climbing with the victim, and he contacted park rangers with a cell phone after the incident occurred. The park’s search and rescue team got to the man on Monday evening.
“The park requested help from a Colorado Air National Guard helicopter at Buckley Air Force Base to extricate the man, who was uninjured, via a hoist operation,” the outlet said. “The Rocky Mountain Rescue Group assisted in the effort and the rescuers used a winch operated cable.” Once rescuers hiked to an area near Ypsilon Lake for a helicopter long-line recovery early Monday, crews transported the victim’s body to a helispot before taking her to the Larimer County Coroner and Medical Examiner’s Office.
Now, officials are working to determine an official cause of death, and her identity will be released once authorities can inform next of kin about what happened.The term free soloing is usually applied to steep and technical rock climbing done with only hands and feet, with the sole equipment being climbing shoes and chalk bag, but the word solo also applies to ice climbs and routes done ropeless in the Alps and Greater Ranges.
