A woman was rescued after falling 30 feet while climbing in Eldorado Canyon State Park on Sunday afternoon.
The woman, 44, fell at about 2:41 p.m. Sunday while climbing the White Lightning route, and it took about two hours to rescue her, according to a Boulder County Sheriff’s Office press release. She fell when her safety gear dislodged from the rock she was climbing, the release states.
The woman, who was wearing a helmet, was taken to a hospital with a head injury after crews got her out through steep, unstable terrain, according to the sheriff’s office.
Rocky Mountain Rescue Group, Mountain View Fire Rescue and Eldorado Canyon State Park staff responded to the call.
