Because helicopters could not land on the rugged rocky terrain, rescuers had to parachute down and climb the mountain to reach the victims.

The climber had his injured leg fixed before being brought down. The difficult terrain forced the rescue team to perform a rope jump from a height of 150m to the ground, according to Euro Weekly News.
