Woman dies after plummeting 500ft during free-solo climb at Rocky Mountain National Park

A woman fell 500 feet to her death while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park on Sunday.

The 26-year-old from Boulder, Colorado, was free-solo climbing on the Four Aces of Blitzen Ridge on Ypsilon Mountain when she fell off the side of the cliff face.

Her climbing partner notified park rangers, who sent search and rescue teams to find him and her body. The crews had to call in a helicopter from the Colorado Air National Guard to retrieve them, according to the National Park Service.
