A climber aged around 40 was found dead after falling into a ravine in the Louki Mytika area of Mount Olympus, Greece.
Ten firefighters from the Litochoro Fire Service, members of the 2nd and 8th Special Units for Disaster Response (EMAK), and volunteers from the Hellenic Rescue Team took part in the search and rescue operation.
Volunteers from the Hellenic Rescue Team initially located the climber.
Firefighters and rescue team members then carried the climber to the Kakalos Refuge on the Plateau of the Muses.
A helicopter from the Joint Rescue Coordination Center subsequently collected the climber and transported him to the helipad of the 110 Combat Wing in Larissa.
An ambulance from Greece’s National Centre for Emergency Care (EKAB) then took over the transfer.
Despite the extensive rescue operation, authorities confirmed that the climber had died.
