Red Rocks Climbing Accident - Nov 30 2013

I don't know who the climber is but we were in Black Velvet Canyon on Sat running up some routes on Whiskey Peak when a climber took a fall on the 3rd pitch? of Frogland. The information shared was a compound fracture of his right arm and I'm sure some other injuries. He was lowered in a litter from the upper pitches and then heli slung out on a short haul.

 

Kudos to the S&R team and some amazing flying skills to get the chopper so tight near the wall for the haul.
