Crews are mopping up on Monday morning after a lightning strike sparked a small fire in the Rocky Mountain National Park on Sunday.

"Rocky Mountain National Park rangers completed an on-scene investigation and recovery operations took place by helicopter," a park spokesperson said in a statement. "His body was flown to a landing zone in Rocky Mountain National Park and transferred to the Larimer County Coroner’s Office."

A Colorado Army National Guard helicopter hoisted the injured climber out of the area to Upper Beaver Meadows, where paramedics took him to the hospital, park officials said.
