Drama in the Tannheim mountains: climbers crash and injure themselves badly!

In the afternoon of March 20, 2025, there were two serious climbing accidents in the Alps, each of which inflicted significant injuries to an athlete. The first incident occurred at 7:25 p.m. in a climbing hall, where a 30-year-old Austrian crashed from around ten to fifteen meters while climbing. He was also active with a 31-year-old climbing partner who secured him. Despite the experience of these men, the fall was unexpected and required immediate measures. The climbers present immediately provided first aid and alerted the rescue workers who brought the injured to the hospital to Innsbruck, where he was appealing, but there is no information about his current health, such as tirol.orf.at reported .

Another dramatic incident occurred on the same day in the Tannheimer Bergen. A 35-year-old German from Bavaria and his 41-year-old Austrian climbing partner started a common mountain hike and chose the via ferrata "birthday surprise". The German slipped at around 1:30 p.m. after he had hung an express loop and fell about six to seven meters while he held a rope. However, this loop detached itself, and he was seriously injured on both ankles when landing. His climbing partner was able to secure the accident and finally abseiled him before he made the emergency call. Rescue workers were quickly on hand, and the injured person was brought to the BKH Reutte with a rescue helicopter, where the fractures were diagnosed on both ankles, such as All-in.de reported .
