A rock climber fell 60 to 65 feet in Bucks County Easter Sunday leaving him in need of rescue after he broke multiple bones.
The 55-year-old man came to rest in Tohickon Creek below a rock face in Ralph Stover State Park, which covers parts of Tinicum and Plumstead townships, said Bucks County Park Rangers.
The man was repelling on the rock face at the time of the fall, said rangers.
County and state rangers joined local firefighters to rescue the man. Crews repelled down the rocks to get the climber in a basket and back up to safety.
A medical helicopter transported the man to Temple University hospital where doctors treated him for shoulder and ankle injuries, said rangers.
The park boasts a "High Rocks" section that offers views of the Tohickon Creek, according to the state park’s website.
Rescuers didn’t reveal the exact location where the fall occurred.
