One Utah rock climber had to be rescued on Sunday from a spot known as "certain death."
FOX News reported that a rock "the size of a refrigerator" rolled on top of the climber.
Rescue crews were called around 4 p.m. to an area in the Gate Buttress area of Little Cottonwood Canyon, which is about 15 miles from Salt Lake City.
According to the statement, two climbers were hiking a new waterfront area above a location called "certain death."
Initially, two ground teams were sent out to rescue the climbers, but because of the terrain and the injuries sustained, a helicopter had to be called to airlift the climber off the mountain.
The department stated in a Facebook post, "One climber had pulled off a large rock the size of a refrigerator that rolled over the top of him."
The entire rescue took about 90 minutes from start to finish.
No elaborate details on the climbers injuries have been released. I addition, there has been no official update on the climber's current condition.
