Rescuers of Sochi evacuated an injured climber from the slopes of the Achishho ridge

Rescuers of the Southern Regional Search and Rescue Team of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia and the regional service Kuban-SPAS conducted a complex operation to evacuate a 33-year-old tourist from the Wolf Teeth rock section of the Achishkho Ridge. The girl fell off a cliff at an altitude of about 1900 meters and was injured.

The operation lasted 10 hours and took place in extremely difficult conditions: in the dark, with snow and strong gusty wind. Rescuers of the Krasnopolyansk division of the URPSO reached the Khmelevsky Lakes area by an off-road vehicle, then moved on foot to the Bear Gate Pass.

At the site of the victim, first aid was provided, after which they were transported on a stretcher to the MOE SUV. The tourist was taken to the city limits and taken to the hospital of Krasnaya Polyana. The success of the operation was made possible thanks to the coordinated actions of the teams and the use of specialized equipment.

Earlier it was reported that the ropes of Krasnaya Polyana will be closed until December 1.
