LAUREL SPRINGS — Emergency workers have recovered the body of a man who was ice climbing alone along North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Parkway.

Multiple media outlets reported authorities haven’t released the identity of the man, whose body was recovered Thursday afternoon in Alleghany County by rescue workers who rappelled down a steep slope to reach him.

Ice climbing is allowed on the area known as Ice Rock when that part of the parkway is closed to traffic because of snow and ice, as it has been recently. The spot is about five miles north of N.C. 18.

An ice climber from Cary died there in 1997.
