The man was reportedly in a group of climbers from the Montana Wilderness School of the Bible located on the upper Dearborn River. He unhooked his rope intending to rehook it in another location when he fell straight down 90 to 100 feet, Crum said.
The man landed on his feet, breaking bones in his legs, hips and one arm, but was conscious and breathing and able to speak, Crum said. EMTs were on the scene as part of the Bible camp, and they were able to stabilize the man while another climber hiked out to call emergency responders, he said.
