A man has suffered a fatal fall while trying to scale down a 50- to 60-foot cliff at a park outside Austin.
Travis County Emergency Services officials say 42-year-old George Wesley Perry of Pflugerville fell from the cliff at Pace Bend Park on Saturday afternoon.
A medical helicopter lowered a flight nurse to the ground to help Perry, but he was pronounced dead after being taken by boat to a nearby boat ramp.
The agencies responding include the park service, Austin-Travis County EMS, STAR Flight emergency response services, Travis County Sheriff's Office and Pedernales Fire Department.
