Climbing in Kitzbühel: Dramatic rescue by search in the fog

After an intensive concern for the fate of three climbers in the Kaiser Mountains in the Kitzbühel district, there is now an all -clear. The alpinists who were missing on Wednesday could be hypothermic thanks to a large -scale search action.

The situation escalated when a friend of the climber alerted because the contact with them had suddenly broken off. This happened on Wednesday morning, whereupon the control center Tirol immediately called for help. The participants in the search included the alpine police, mountain rescuers and even three helicopters who got into the air to support. The missing people were finally suspected in the east wall of the Markstein Predigtstuhl at over 2,000 meters. The assignment was challenging because fog and cloud fields were significantly impaired.

difficult search conditions

The search was difficult, and at first it was impossible to contact the missing person. However, the rescue teams did not give up. In the early evening, after long hours of searching, the climbers were finally found and brought into the valley. So far, there is only sparse information about your health and the exact expiry of the salvage. According to reports, they were taken to the hospital for further examination, where it was found that they were hypothermic.

The events throw a light on the challenges with which mountain athletes are faced with, especially under adverse weather conditions. The mountain rescue was well prepared and showed how important fast reactions and committed teams are in such situations. Investigations into when exactly the climbers set up on their tour are still underway.

This successful rescue illustrates the decisive role of rescue organizations in the Tyrolean Alps. Your skills and the excellent cooperation approach between the various auxiliary units are essential for the safety of mountain athletes.
