Serious climbing accident on Glatzenstein: 27-year-old seriously injured!
On September 3, 2025, a serious climbing accident occurred on Glatzenstein in Neunkirchen am Sand, which is located in the Nürnberger Land district. At around 1:30 p.m., a 27-year-old climber fell about 20 meters from a moderately difficult route. Luckily, the fall was caught by his 34-year-old belay partner, who quickly got the situation under control.
The accident site is a popular destination for climbers, but as the tragic events show, climbing can also pose serious dangers. The climber fell several meters into the last intermediate belay and hit the rock face headfirst, sustaining a bleeding head injury and a foot injury. He was then let down by his safety partner and the rescue chain was set in motion.
Rescue by helicopter
The alerted rescue workers as well as an emergency doctor and the mountain rescue service were quickly on site. The injured climber was finally flown from the base of the wall to a clinic in a rescue helicopter. The police officers from the Lauf a.d. police station Pegnitz and the clerks from the Middle Franconia police headquarters recorded the accident.
The safety partner also received support from the mountain rescue crisis intervention team, as such accidents can also pose a great psychological burden.
