A 63-year-old climber fell around 75 meters in the Oberallgäu district and died. The man probably missed the start of a via ferrata near Bad Hindelang and was further up, said a police spokesman on Sunday. Accordingly, there were no safety ropes at this point.
The 63-year-old probably wanted to return when he fell on Saturday. A mountain guide abseiled down a doctor who happened to be there to provide assistance. At the time, the 63-year-old was already dead, it was said. The man was rescued by the mountain rescue service.
