A climber died after falling off a cliff edge at Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas over the weekend, while a second climber was rescued.
Multiple search and rescue teams responded and worked throughout the night to reach the stranded climber, who was rescued Sunday morning.
The body of the fallen climber was also recovered Sunday morning.
During the rescue process, a rescuer was hurt and had to be transported to a local hospital.
Officials warn visitors that rock climbing or free climbing within the park is prohibited due to highly fractured limestone.
This incident comes after a hiker died at the park on New Year’s Eve of last year.
