Park rangers and members of the Colorado Army National Guard rescued a man who fell while climbing in the Rocky Mountain National Park.

The National Park Service said a 26-year-old man was climbing on the south face of Petit Grepon when he took a roped fall, injuring his lower legs. His partner helped him rappel to the base of the route, where park rangers provided first aid.
