Message
A MAN has plunged to his death while climbing a popular mountain peak in western Victoria.

Police said the man, believed to be in his 30s, fell 15m on to a ledge while climbing Mount Arapiles, in the Grampians mountain range, near Horsham, about 4.30pm (AEST) today.
He landed 70m from the foot of a cliff, police said.

A paramedic crew and an ambulance helicopter were scrambled but the climber was pronounced dead at the scene two hours later.

A Rural Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the climber suffered critical internal and spinal injuries and efforts were still underway to recover the man's body.

Anybody have further info..
