Canyon Climbers Rescued After Fall | Vancouver News

Two climbers took a nasty tumble on the Capilano Classic route, one crashing 10 meters and injuring their knee—prompting a daring rescue by North Van Fire & Rescue. With ropes, rappelling crews, and a technical hoist system, firefighters pulled both climbers to safety. Even with gear like helmets and radios, help was crucial—and calling 911 immediately saved them from worsening injuries. That day also saw a house fire, ankle sprains at Mount Seymour and Quarry Rock, proving summer’s peak season for rescues. Fire Chief Ryan Stewart reminded listeners: proper footwear beats running shoes on trails, and when things go wrong, staying put and calling for help is your best move.
