A 33-year-old American man has died after falling off a climbing path at Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest mountain, authorities said. The climber set out early Monday morning but disappeared during his ascent, the Associated Press reported. Authorities later found the man’s body around 1 a.m. at the bottom of a mountain trail, the outlet reports. Police said initial evidence indicates the climber suffered a steep fall. Mount Triglav, which rises more than 9,000 feet, is a popular but demanding climb that can be especially dangerous in unstable weather conditions or when visibility drops. The man’s identity has not been released by authorities, but the AP reports the man was staying in a cabin near the Bohinj Lake.
