accident in Clear Creek????

Was up at primo tonight, on my way out of the canyon noticed a large search and rescue crew, fire trucks and spot lights going on underneath the new wall the canal zone. there were about 15 people with headlamps underneath the aquaduct.

Wondering if anyone had any info?

Ok. All I know is that a "hiker" was injured and transported to the hospital with "minor injuries". This is according to Golden PD

What are the access issues with this new area? I used to work for the ag. ditch company that maintained the aqueduct. Not sure if they have any rights or who owns the land. It is a steep embankment off the side of some of the concrete sections of the canal.

Sounds more like a climber than a hiker. More importantly, sounds like no "serious" injuries. Details are a bit vague, though.

Being an unfortunate veteran of a fall in Clear Creek, I hope this person is doing ok (climber or hiker).
This is the fourth fall in the front range that I've heard of this spring, let's just make this a reminder for all of us to be extra safe.

I don't know, I've never been but it seems possible that you'd be able to lower off your 60m rope there. Knots people!! Even if this is totally unrelated (for all I know, it could be bear/beer/boar related incident), tie knots in your ends.
