This afternoon, park rangers were contacted via cell phone by a 31-year-old man who indicated he had fallen an unknown distance while glissading down Gabletop Mountain, which is above Loomis Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. He reported numerous injuries.

今天下午，公园护林员接到一名31岁的男子的手机来电，他表示自己在从位于落基山国家公园卢米斯湖上方的盖博托普山滑降时跌落，跌落距离不明。他报告称自己有多处受伤。

The US Forest Service Northern Colorado helicopter used earlier for the body recovery from Longs Peak was utilized for aerial reconnaissance. Using cell phone GPS coordinates, rangers were able to determine his general location below Gabletop Mountain and aerial surveillance confirmed his exact location.

早先在朗斯峰用于遗体搜寻的美国林务局北科罗拉多直升机被调用进行空中侦察。利用手机GPS坐标，护林员确定他位于盖博托普山下的大致位置，并通过空中监视确认了他的确切位置。

Since the initial call, park rangers have been in contact with the man periodically through the night via cell phone.

自首次通话后，公园管理员整夜都通过手机与该男子保持间歇性联系。

The man is located in a remote high alpine environment in a steep cirque above Loomis Lake approximately 11,300 feet. Loomis Lake is southwest of Spruce Lake. Tonight, before night fall, a team of four park rangers were flown to Loomis Lake. Equipment was also flown into the general area. These flights occurred in between severe thunderstorms.

该男子位于卢米斯湖上方大约11，300英尺海拔高度的一个陡峭的冰斗中，地处偏远的高山环境。卢米斯湖位于云杉湖的西南方向。今晚，在夜幕降临之前，一支由四名公园护林员组成的队伍被空运到卢米斯湖。装备也被空运到该区域附近。这些飞行是在严重雷暴间隙进行的。

The man began to descend steep snow slopes toward Loomis Lake, which is helping rangers have a better chance of reaching and assisting him tonight. No further information is available at this time. An update will be sent out tomorrow morning by 10:00 a.m. with any new information.

这名男子已开始沿着陡峭的雪坡向卢米斯湖方向下移，这有助于护林员增加在今晚抵达并帮助他的机会。目前暂无更多信息。如果有任何新的信息，我们将在明天上午10:00之前发出最新通报。

UPDATE

最新消息

Early this morning, July 26, just after midnight, rangers reached 31-year-old Nick Creadon from Golden, Colorado by climbing to his location. Creadon was ambulatory but had life threatening injuries. He greatly aided in his rescue by moving down a steep band of rock, then down a steep snow field toward rangers. Rangers rescued Creadon by lowering him five hundred feet with ropes and then assisted him an additional 700 feet down steep mountainous terrain to Loomis Lake. A paramedic on the park's rescue team provided advanced life support throughout the incident.

今天7月26日，凌晨刚过午夜，护林员通过攀登抵达了31岁的尼克·克里登的所在位置，他来自科罗拉多州戈尔登市。克里登能够行走，但有危及生命的伤势。他沿着陡峭的岩石带向下移动，然后沿着陡峭的雪原向护林员方向移动，这极大地协助了自己的救援。护林员用绳索将克里登下放了500英尺，随后又协助他沿着陡峭的山区再次下行700英尺，最终到达卢米斯湖。公园救援队的一名护理人员在整个事件中提供了高级生命支持。

At approximately 8:30 a.m. Creadon was flown to Upper Beaver Meadows Road where he was then taken by Flight for Life to St. Anthony's Hospital for further treatment.

大约上午8点30分，克里登被空运到上海狸牧场路，随后由“生命飞行”救援直升机空运往圣安东尼医院接受进一步治疗。

Park rescue team members feel this was truly a life saving mission. Creadon was extremely fortunate to have cell phone coverage in this remote location with very limited coverage. All park rescue personnel are safely out of the backcountry.

公园救援队成员认为这确实是一次拯救生命的任务。克里登极其幸运，在这个信号覆盖范围极其有限的偏远地区，他的手机竟然拥有信号。所有公园救援人员均已安全撤出野外区域。
