The unidentified 26-year-old died while climbing on the Four Aces of Blitzen Ridge, on Ypsilon Mountain on the east side of the park,Free-soloing is a form of climbing"where the climber forgoes ropes, harnesses and other protective gear while ascending and relies only on his or her physical strength, climbing ability, and psychological fortitude to avoid a fatal fall," according to an NPS glossary.
The woman's unidentified 27-year-old male climbing partner, also from Boulder, notified park rangers of her fall, the federal agency said. Members of the park's search and rescue team located the man on Sunday night, and rescued him with the help of the California Air National Guard, which used a helicopter to hoist him to safety, according to NPS. The man was uninjured.
