A mountain rescue team climbed to the accident area on foot, but unstable snow conditions significantly hampered access and delayed rescue efforts, according to police.<\/p>\n<div class=\"max-md:faux-bleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex ad-container\" id=\"_R_2oe99lhek5clubsnm6jbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_2oe99lhek5clubsnm6jbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_2oe99lhek5clubsnm6jbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The man was eventually located in a steep snowfield below the mountain&#8217;s north face.
