The 25-year-old, identified only as James, reportedly lost his footing and fell 10m from a rock wall at the popular coastal outdoor climbing area in Gongliao District, New Taipei City, about an hour’s drive from Taipei.
"The terrain was narrow, making transport difficult. It took us nearly two hours to successfully rescue him," he said. Taiwanese media reported that multiple rescue units, ambulances and fire engines were deployed to assist in the operation. On May 2, a 44-year-old woman was climbing at the same location with her boyfriend when she also fell about 10m down a slope. She later died in hospital despite emergency treatment.
