Kurt Albert injured and in serious condition

Post by Andrew »

From 8a

Kurt Albert seriously injured (7)


In 1975 Kurt Albert started to paint red dots on routes in Frankenjura that had been done free and this is why a free ascent is called redpoint. Yesterday, Kurt injured himself when he fell 18 metres on the via ferrata Höhenglücksteig in Germany.



This is sad news, and is difficult to hear of another climbing accident. Once again a very experienced climber has an accident, be safe out there ladies and gentlemen.

Unfortunately, Kurt Albert is de facto dead...only his bodily functions are being kept before he is officially declared dead. I believe this is due to his wish to donate organs. Yet he is not expected to get conscious any more...this is a backstage info from klettern.de.

R.I.P. Kurt!
