INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
A 32-year-old man was rescued Monday night after finding himself unable to get down from a 50-foot boulder in north Scottsdale, authorities said.
Scottsdale and Phoenix fire technical rescue teams used a high angle rope system to rescue the late-night climber, according to the Scottsdale Fire Department.
The climber was not injured.
“Climbing is dangerous,” Scottsdale fire officials said on their Facebook page.
“Always use sound judgment, respect climbing dangers, don't climb over your head, find an experienced mentor or take climbing lessons from an experienced guide to learn how to climb safely.”
