Police and emergency services completed the rescue last night of a 30-year-old man who had been injured when falling from a cliff at Tynwald Park, New Norfolk.
Police were notified of the incident about 7.30pm Monday, with reports the man was attempting to climb down the cliff face when he lost his footing and fell about 10m to a lower level of the cliff.
Emergency services including the Tasmania Police Search and Rescue Vertical Rescue Team, Ambulance Tasmania paramedics and local SES volunteers attended the scene and performed a complicated, multi-step cliff extraction.
The Derwent Valley man was successfully brought back up the cliff face over a 90-minute operation.
He was assessed at the scene and transported by ambulance to the Royal Hobart Hospital suffering lacerations and bruising.
Tasmania Police reminds members of the public to take care when at heights and to observe any warning signs for dangerous conditions.
