A Colorado Army National Guard helicopter hoisted the injured climber out of the area to Upper Beaver Meadows, where paramedics took him to the hospital, park officials said.

A climber was airlifted to a hospital after falling while climbing in Rocky Mountain National Park Sunday morning.

Rocky Mountain Park Rangers are searching for 23-year-old Nebraska man Blake Kieckhafer, who went missing in the park after he was dropped off by a ride share service.
