Russian climber Natalia Nagovitsyna died on Peak Pobeda in Kyrgyzstan. Her body is planned to be evacuated after weather conditions stabilize.
Russian alpinist Natalia Nagovitsyna died after 11 days at an altitude of about 7,000 meters on Pobeda Peak in Kyrgyzstan. The alpinist's body is planned to be evacuated only after the weather stabilizes, writes UNN with reference to Russian "media".
Details
Her body can only be retrieved from 7,000 meters when weather conditions normalize to allow a helicopter to ascend to that altitude. Also, the rescue group that was supposed to retrieve the body of the Italian who was rescuing the Russian woman has been recalled from an altitude of 4,500 meters.
The woman spent 11 days at a temperature of -26 without food or water under the "Bird" rock. She only had a burner, a sleeping bag, and a torn tent with her.
Natasha's group (she and 3 men) ascended to the summit, during the descent a participant fell and pulled Natasha, causing her to break her leg. Natasha's tent was set up at 7200, and the exhausted, frozen participants went down
Addition
Natalia Nagovitsyna died at almost the same altitude where her husband died four years ago. On Khan-Tengri Peak, he was paralyzed, and she stayed with him until the end. And when rescuers came to rescue them, they could only evacuate the woman. They failed to save her husband.
