By 8.45 pm, the victim had been taken to a safe area and was then transferred to hospital for examination and treatment.
The management board of Ba Den Mountain National Tourist Area advised visitors to assess their health condition before climbing and not to continue if they showed signs of fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness or were otherwise unfit.
Visitors were urged to bring sufficient drinking water, light food, personal medication and other essentials. They were also advised not to climb alone, but to travel in groups and inform relatives of their itinerary.
The management board also recommended that visitors plan their time carefully and set off early to ensure they could descend before dark.
If they felt weak or showed unusual health symptoms, visitors should not press on, but instead find a safe place and contact the authorities for assistance.
