title: An injured climber.
abstract: Climbing incidents present a myriad of challenges to prehospital teams. Management decisions are often influenced by factors including difficulties in accessing patients, limited available resources and safe egress from scenes. This case illustrates the importance of an adaptable and innovative approach to scene management and clinical decision making in such cases.
