Louisville Man Dead After Falling Down Red River Gorge Cliff

Max Suffridge has been named as the hiker who died along a trail in the Red River Gorge in a Louisville fall. He was 32.

Rescue teams from Wolfe County and Powell County were arrived onscene around 3:30 a.m. to perform a rescue for the injured climber. They later recovered Suffridge.

Officials in Wolfe County say a group of friends from Louisville were camping last night when one member of the group was found to be missing around 11 p.m. The missing man, Maxwell Harrison Suffridge, 32, was found to have fallen down a cliff on Hansen’s Point. source

One of Suffridge’s friends got a rope and attempted to climb down to him, but got caught in the climbing gear and fell, injuring his leg.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
