Stones fell on them and both were critically injured
BarcelonaOne of the two climbers who was in critical condition after being hit by several rocks on Saturday while climbing a route in Montserrat has died, according to sources from the hospital where he was admitted, Vall d'Hebron, to the ACN.
The deceased victim was accompanied by a climber who is still in critical condition at Bellvitge Hospital. Both climbers are 30 years old. Firefighters received the alert at 4:30 p.m. from a third person who found a man and a woman unconscious near the route, which is close to the Can Jorba car park.
The woman was the first to be evacuated with serious injuries and was transferred to Bellvitge Hospital. The man received initial assistance on-site because he was suffering from cardiac arrest, which was successfully revived, and was subsequently transferred to Vall d'Hebron by helicopter.
Firefighters deployed two aerial units and four ground crews, and the Emergency Medical System activated two rescue helicopters.
