A 26-year-old man from Golden died Thursday morning after taking a fall of more than 600 feet on the east face of Longs Peak.
Rocky Mountain National Park rangers received an emergency call from a group of climbers on Broadway Ledge, near Fields Chimney, on the east face of Longs Peak, who witnessed an unroped climber in another climbing group fall while traversing Broadway, park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson said in a news release.
Rangers responded and reached the at the base of the Chimney formation. Patterson said they found the man dead from injuries sustained in an approximate 600 to 800 foot fall.
The victim’s body was flown by Northern Colorado Interagency Helitak to a helispot in the Upper Beaver Meadows area of the park at 3:45 p.m., and his body was then transferred to the Boulder County Coroner.
The man’s name will be released after next of kin are notified, Patterson said.
