Crews rescued a climber who had become lost in Eldorado Canyon State Park without a working cell phone or headlamp early Thursday morning.
About 1:49 a.m., the Boulder Communications Center received a report of an overdue climber at the park, a popular destination for climbers, according to a Boulder County Sheriff’s Office release.
The climber, a 24-year-old man, had taken longer than expected to complete the Naked Edge route, and his headlamp and cell phone had run out of battery, the release said. When the man didn’t return for several hours, his family called for help.
In an operation that took six hours, rescue personnel used a drone to find the man, and Rocky Mountain Rescue Group helped the man down a technical descent.
The Boulder Police Department and Eldorado Canyon State Park rangers also assisted in the rescue operation.
In the release, the sheriff’s office said those venturing outdoors should tell someone their plans, establish check-in procedures and bring appropriate equipment to prevent potential emergencies and ensure safety.
