Czech climber dies in fall on Greek island of Kalymnos

A 60-year-old Czech climber died after a fall on the Greek island of Kalymnos, the website Kairn.com reported. The accident happened on Friday on a climbing route known as Jurassic Park.

According to the report, the climber was descending when bolts at a fixed anchor broke, causing him to fall. He landed on a rocky ledge and initially remained conscious.

Rescue efforts were complicated by bad weather and difficult terrain. The man was later transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The incident has raised concerns about the condition of older fixed anchors on the island’s climbing routes. Local authorities said they plan to check routes established before 2005 and advised climbers to avoid them unless they have been recently renewed.
