Abseiler air lifted out of Falcons Lookout 20-Jun-2017 At 7:24:47 PM jacksonclimbs

Thought you all might be interested in this.

Abseiler was rapping off the area to the left at the main boardwalk where there are a bunch of vertical cracks. Gladiator and Power-Slave are the two routes there. The group had been there most of the day and was not climbing, simply abseiling. I did not see the accident but it was described that the guy rapped a little fast and caught his foot in one of the cracks, lowering his weight onto it.

He was holding up pretty well but after a couple of hours the adrenalin had worn off and he was looking a bit white in the face. Ambulance and SES turned up and took good care of him.

Had my camera on me, so filmed the rescue - https://youtu.be/KNSvNGFu0K0
