ASPEN | A Texas man has been rescued from Colorado’s Maroon Peak after he fell 100 feet into a gully.
The Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office identified the man as Keith Brewer, of Austin. Brewer’s condition was not immediately released; however, officials said he had broken ribs.
The Aspen Daily News reported that authorities were notified of an injured hiker Saturday afternoon.
A passerby had reported that the man’s injuries were so sever that he couldn’t climb out of the gully unassisted.
Brewer was evacuated by helicopter and taken to Aspen Valley Hospital.
