According to the head of the expedition, the chances of finding the athlete are minimal, the chances of removing her from the peak of victory even less, so rescuers decided not to risk. According to the weather forecast, the weather will get worse in the Tien-Shan Mountains, there will be heavy snowfall, and the slopes will be avalanche. In September, winter begins in the region. "Already in the base camp at night -13 degrees," -said Dmitry Grekov, the head of the rescue expedition.
However, the Italian team does not yet give up its plans. They want to pick up the body of a climb Luke, who died while trying to help Natalia. We will remind, the Russian mountaineer Natalia Novitsina was injured during the descent from the peak of victory on August 12. The partner provided her first aid and went to the base camp for help. The next day, the Nazis tried to lower two foreign climbers - the German Gunter and the Italian Luke.
They left Natalia sleeping bag, burner, food and gas cylinder. But it didn't work out. Later, they tried to climb her again, but due to bad weather conditions, the men spent the night in the tent. Luke died on August 15. Gunter was evacuated from the mountain and sent to the hospital. The next attempt to help Natalia was made on August 17, when the Mi-8 helicopter flew to her.
The operation was also unsuccessful - due to difficult weather conditions, the helicopter carried out a rigid planting at an altitude of 4. 6 km. The pilot received a compression fracture of the spine, and a rescuer of pelvic bones. On August 22, the peak of the victory was also failed. The son of climbing Mikhail Nagvitsyn said that to conquer the peaks is his parents' hobby. His father Sergei Nagvitsyn died at another peak in Kyrgyzstan-Khan Tenngra in 2021, when he had a stroke.
