Mostacci adds the man didn’t sustain the injury from a fall.

Emergency crews lifted him about 30 metres out of the gorge by about 8:15 p.m. He was then taken to hospital.

There’s no information on the man’s identity or whether he is from Hamilton.

It’s the third rope rescue at a waterfall in the city this month, including an incident on June 10 when a man fell to his death at Albion Falls.
