A 24-year-old man died Thursday after he fell 150 feet while climbing Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park.

The unidentified man from Springfield, Mo., fell from The Narrows on the Keyhole Route on Longs Peak, according to a news release from Kyle Patterson, spokeswoman for Rocky Mountain National Park.

Ice was present at several locations along the route at the time of the incident, according to the release.

Rangers received a 911 call shortly after 8 a.m. from an off-duty park volunteer who was with a climbing party in the area.

The man survived the fall, but died shortly after on scene, according to the release.

Because of high winds, helicopter recovery efforts for the body were postponed until Friday.

Sections of the Keyhole Route may be temporarily closed during air operations, after which the body will be taken to the Boulder County Coroner’s office, according to the release.
