Investigators stated that the hicker slipped to navigate a wet and clever section of the waterfall, which led to him to about 25 feet in a rocky basin below.
The rescue team reached the place and found that the victim had suffered serious injuries. After assessing their position, he requested a helicopter equipped with hoisting capabilities, determining that it was the safest and fastest way to get and vacate it from the steep terrain.
