Man Killed In Fall On Longs Peak Identified
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. (AP) — A 61-year-old man from Greeley is dead after falling while climbing Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The accident happened Saturday after Scott Corliss apparently slipped on ice and fell about 100 feet on The Narrows section of the Keyhole Route, one of the mountain's most popular climbing routes.
Park officials say visitors called rescuers by cellphone about 10 a.m. to report the accident. Rangers were flown by helicopter and recovered the body later in the afternoon.
