SQUAMISH, B.C. — Police in Squamish, B.C., say two climbers sustained “significant injuries” and had to be rescued from a route on the Stawamus Chief mountain on Thursday.
Squamish RCMP say the climbers were then taken to hospital to receive care.
A social media post from Squamish Search and Rescue says the climbers were injured by a rockfall, and members of its team responded to the call.
It says a helicopter rescue crew was deployed and it used a long line to extract the injured climbers from the rock face.
