Climbers were looking for acute sensations and stuck at a dizzying height. On Wednesday, February 12, two men climbed to the top of the 65-meter cliff, which is located on the Australian Island of Tasmania and has been attracting extremes from around the world for decades. However, in the process, something did not go according to plan. This is written by Bild.
This terrible incident resembles the plot of the film " During their mission, a rusty staircase breaks and they fall into a trap.
It is reported that on a small ledge in front of the very top, a strong wind confused the ropes of climbers, making it impossible to describe. Rescuers tried to remove the victims with the help of a helicopter, but in vain, because the wind was too strong. The police boat was also unable to get to the scene due to bad weather.
In the end, the extremal was saved by volunteers from the local climbing club. In complete darkness, the group began the rise and with the help of the ropes removed two adventurers from the cliff. According to the police, the operation continued until the very morning. No one was injured.
Totem column - the dream of many adventure lovers. For the first time, people managed to climb the top of the cliff in 1968. The location of the rock makes the ascent especially dangerous: since its base is in sea water, the stones are very slippery.
In 1998, a terrible accident occurred there: a piece of cliff the size of a TV broke off during the ascent and fell into the skull to the British sports climber Paratchard (58 years old).
Part of his body paralyzed, in addition, he has problems with memory.
We will remind, earlier on Everest found the remains of the climber, who disappeared here in 1924. When his family found out, she breathed a sigh of relief, because all these years she did not know about his fate.
In addition, the remains of a German who disappeared 37 years ago during the ascent to the legendary Mount Matterhorn in Switzerland were found on the Theodul glacier. The man went missing in 1986.
