POLICE are working to retrieve the body of an abseiler who fell to his death in the Blue Mountains.
The man in his 30s was abseiling with a woman in her 20s at Malaita Point, a popular abseiling spot on the edge of the Jamison Valley, near Katoomba, on Saturday morning.
Emergency services were called around 8.30am (AEDT) after the woman became tangled in ropes, about 20 metres down a cliff.
It is believed the man then plummeted to the cliff base.
An operation to retrieve his body was underway about 4pm on Saturday.
The woman was winched to safety at about 1.30pm and wasn't injured, NSW Ambulance duty operations manager Murray Traynor said.
A rope system was used to haul her to the top of the cliff in a rescue operation involving ambulance and police helicopters.
Police will investigate the incident.
