— Boulder County rescuers responded to a seriously-injured fallen Eldorado Canyon climber Saturday, using a highline during the transport and having to evacuate the area in amid theDrew Hildner, spokesman for Mountain Rescue Group, said the climber had fallen 30 feet, and it was an extended time before rescuers could get to them in the type of terrain the person was in. The NCAR fire evacuation took place mid-rescue.
“The climbing in Eldorado Canyon is difficult in that it’s very blocky. Some people can have the long falls and have no injuries, and others can have short falls and get severely injured,” Hildner said. “Just because of how steep it is, evacuation is very technical and difficult and takes time for us to do. There are lots of loose boulders that can be inadvertently kicked down. It takes time for us to do. It’s an ascending ridgeline.
Hildner stressed recreationists need to go out with helmets when they go climbing or bouldering, and in many cases, even when just hiking.
