A 26-year-old Boulder, Colo., woman was killed Sunday in a 500-foot fall in Rocky Mountain National Park. The unidentified woman was climbing with a 27-year-old man when she lost her grip as she scaled Four Aces of Blitzen Ridge at the park.
After a call for help from her companion, Colorado’s Air National Guard helicopter from Buckley Air Force Base helped in his recovery, hoisting him up by a winch-operated cable Sunday night. The Park Service reported that he was uninjured.
The woman’s body was recovered Monday by Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue Team members who had hiked to the area above Ypsilon Lake and used a “helicopter long-line recovery,” the Park Service said. Her body was taken to the Larimer County Coroner/Medical Examiner’s Office for determination of the cause of death.
