I called the ambulance and chopper and heard but didn't see the fall. The climber was on Hermes on the North Buttress, about halfway up the second pitch. Fall would have been about 8m. She was scratching around the same point for quite a while before the fall. We were at the top of the wall about 150-200m away. The rescue chopper couldn't get close enough to the climber given the proximity of the cliffs, so the firies and police had to get in from above. We left once we were no longer useful. The 000 operator, chopper pilot, national parks and the firies we talked to seemed calm and professional. Glad it sounds like the climber is okay.
