An injured ice climber is on the road to recovery after a daring 10 hour rescue to get him off the mountain following a 60ft fall.
Slavek Zaglewski from Oakland, New Jersey had been attempting to climb the challenging ‘Shoestring Gully’ route, near Crawford Notch in New Hampshire’s White Mountains on Saturday, December 14. Ascending with a friend, the 55-year-old lost his footing and fell roughly 60ft / 18m, landing at the climb’s base.
