THE body of an experienced French climber who died after falling 40 metres off a cliff in the Royal National Park south of Sydney has been recovered.
The man, named as "Fabian" by the Seven Network was reportedly hanging from the edge of a sandstone cliff north of Little Marley Beach while on a Sunday morning when he lost his grip.
He was bushwalking with his girlfriend and mates from Wollongong University.
"It is believed he was with a group of seven other walkers at the time of the incident, however the exact circumstances remain unclear," police said in a statement.
High winds and rough seas impeded aerial recovery efforts on Sunday afternoon, but authorities anchored abseil lines in bedrock and were able to retrieve the man's body on Sunday evening.
"About 6.30pm, officers reached the man's body and he's been brought to the top of the cliff face," police say.
Initially reports suggested the Frenchman had dropped about 10 metres, but on Sunday evening police said "it appears the man has fallen closer to about 40 metres down the cliff face".
A report is being prepared for the coroner and investigations are continuing.
Police "are in the process of informing next-of-kin", a police spokeswoman told AAP.
