A team of specialized Mountain Rescue Members responded with the help of Glacier Helicopters Invermere.
The subject had sustained injuries from a fall when they grabbed onto a large rock that gave way and struck them.
The team hover exited nearby and climbed down the ridge to subject before assessing and transporting the patient.
