Bavaria: German climber buried under boulders in Tyrol

Kufstein (dpa / lby) - A climber from Germany was buried in a rock fall in the Tyrolean Kaiser Mountains. Chunks in the size of five cubic meters fell on the Stripsenjoch on Thursday, said a spokesman for the operations control center of the German Press Agency. Because of fog, wetness and the danger of loose rock, the Austrian mountain rescuers had to stop their search near the border with Bavaria for the time being. Four other German mountaineers with whom the missing person was traveling remained unharmed. The nationality of the group was announced by the Tyrolean police in the evening.
