A 24-year-old Connecticut man died on Hagerman Peak on Saturday following a rockslide.

A rescue effort involving multiple agencies and two helicopters began at 2:40 p.m., after a companion of the injured hiker called the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office.

After the call, four Mountain Rescue Aspen (MRA) team members were dropped near the scene by a Flight for Life helicopter based out of Summit County. They were responding to reports of two injured hikers, one of whom sustained chest injuries, the other a broken ankle. When they reached the victims, the hiker with the chest injuries was deceased, according to a sheriff's office press release. The hiker's name has not been released.

A Colorado Army National Guard helicopter out of Eagle airlifted the second injured person, along with uninjured members of the hiking party and MRA personnel, to the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport. The injured party was transported via ambulance to Aspen Valley Hospital (AVH). All rescue team members were out of the field by 7:20 p.m.

The recovery of the deceased victim is being led by the Gunnison County Coroner.

Hagerman Peak, elevation 13,841, is located a quarter mile from Snowmass Mountain, a fourteener. The peak, which rises above Snowmass Lake, is in Gunnison County, although it is commonly accessed from Pitkin County and is 11 miles from Aspen.

Also on Saturday, the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office received a call about an injured hiker on the South Maroon Peak trail, located 12 miles from Aspen, around 3:40 p.m. With the Hagerman Peak rescue underway, some MRA team members were reassigned. The climber, whose injuries were described as serious but not life threatening, was airlifted off the mountain around 8:20 p.m., and transported via ambulance to AVH. All remaining MRA personnel hiked out and were off scene by 11:30 p.m.
