Solo climber breaks his leg on the Sierra Nevadas and rescues himself
Last Sunday 3rd January, 44 year old Sean Moore left the skiing village of Pradollano (near Granada) to climb the 11,423 foot Mulhacen peak. When he didn't return as arranged, his wife notified the police.
A search party set out and searched for the whole of Monday and Tuesday, camping out on Monday night at temperatures of -6 degrees. Helicopters couldn't be used because of the dangerous weather conditions.
Meanwhile, Moore managed to drag himself down the highest peak in Spain and find his way to a bar where the alarm was raised. He was immediately taken to the emergency room in Granada's Clinico Hospital.
Sean had not taken his mobile phone with him on the climb.
A spokesman at the hospital said that Moore's condition is not life threatening, but it was not sensible for people to go climbing alone.
Some people would say that being sensible is not usually a strong trait of mountain climbers. What do you think?
