TUCSON - A rock climber is hospitalized in stable condition at a Tucson hospital after being stranded on Mount Lemmon for several hours Tuesday by a bee swarm. It's not clear how many times the man was stung.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department says search and rescue crews were able to rescue the man after rappelling down to his location and getting him to safety.


The man was one of four people climbing in the mountains when they encountered a bee's nest Tuesday afternoon.

The other three people were able to get away from the swarm without getting trapped.

Authorities say all four climbers suffered bee stings.
