Mountaineer falls down cliff after being chased by
monkeys

A mountaineer fell down a cliff and dislocated his
shoulder after being chased by a group of monkeys.

The 23-year-old man was nearing the summit of Mount
Miyanouradke on the Japanese island of Yakushima when
the monkeys set upon him.

He was airlifted to hospital after being found at the
bottom of a cliff by another climber who called for
help on his mobile phone.

A Kyoto university professor, who specialises in the
studying monkeys on Yakushima, told Mianichi Shimbun:
"I've never heard of monkeys attacking mountain
climbers. I suppose he must have just strayed too
close to the pack and the monkeys retaliated."
