Climber falls from Federation Peak A climber has plunged to his death while attempting to scale Tasmania's Federation Peak, 90km west of Hobart. Rescue workers were scrambled to the mountain after a fellow climber set off an EPIRB emergency positioning beacon at 2.30pm (AEST) yesterday, Tasmania Police said. A police helicopter located the dead man's friend four hours later but rescuers postponed trying in the dark to recover the body until this morning. The victim's name has not been released and the coroner is now investigating the fall, police said. Federation Peak, which soars 1224 metres in the Arthur Range of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, is considered to be Tasmania's toughest climb, according to Tourism Tasmania. AAP
