Abseiler 'serious' after cliff fall
May 21, 2005
AN abseiler who fell 30 metres down a cliff in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, has been airlifted to hospital.
The 26-year-old was abseiling at Baltzer Lookout, north of Blackheath, when he slipped about 8am (AEST) today.
His companion used a mobile phone to dial triple-0.
The Westpac Rescue chopper airlifted the man to Westmead Hospital with multiple head and chest injuries.
A Westpac spokesman said he was in a serious, but stable, condition. |
