A man has been taken to hospital after falling about 10 metres down a cliff in the Derwent Valley.
Police said the 30-year-old man was trying to climb down a cliff face at Tynwald Park in New Norfolk on Monday night when he lost his footing.
He fell onto a lower section of the cliff.
Emergency services were called to the park around 7:30pm.
Tasmania Police’s vertical rescue team, paramedics and local SES volunteers carried out what police called a “complicated, multi-step cliff extraction”.
It took about 90 minutes to bring the man, from the Derwent Valley, back up the cliff face.
Paramedics assessed him at the scene before he was taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital with cuts and bruising.
“Tasmania Police reminds members of the public to take care when at heights and to observe any warning signs for dangerous conditions,” a spokesperson said.
