Boy (7) could no longer continue on via ferrata: rescued by helicopter

She climbed the via ferrata on the Karhorn (2,416 metres) with the boys, but had underestimated the difficulty of the via ferrata. Halfway through the tour, the seven-year-old, who had no via ferrata experience, began to cry and refused to go any further. After an emergency call, the trio was rescued by helicopter using a rope.
