A 36 year-old male hiker lost his footing and fell approximately 60 feet along the Keyhole Route near the Trough on Longs Peak this morning and sustained multiple injuries. Park rangers and a paramedic are currently on scene with the patient who is in stable condition. A technical rescue is in progress to move the patient to an area where a helicopter can safely land to transport him to a medical facility for treatment. Members of Rocky Mountain Rescue and Larimer County Search
and Rescue are assisting with the current rescue operations. In two
separate rescue incidents earlier this morning, hikers were also flown out of the Longs Peak area by helicopter for medical treatment. A 57 year-old female, suffering from an altitude related illness, was taken to Boulder Community Hospital. A 68 year-old male sustained a leg injury on the Longs Peak Trail and was flown to St. Anthony’s Hospital.
