Authorities have pleaded with mountain climbers to exercise caution, with 60 people having to be rescued from Queensland’s Glasshouse Mountains over the past year.
This comes after a man was rescued on Sunday when he slipped while climbing Mount Tibrogargan and broke his leg.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Maroochydore Inspector Cameron Herbert said the number of rescues has risen significantly in the last 12 to 18 months, and puts a lot of strain on the rescue personnel.
