Climber ascended Victory peak knowing rescues were impossible, pursuing accolade instead.
In the high peaks of Kyrgyzstan, the rescue operation to evacuate Russian alpinist Natalia Nagovitsyna from Victory Peak has been suspended. According to reports from the press service of the Kyrgyz MCHS, provided to the "Izvestia" newspaper, the suspension is due to a sudden deterioration in weather conditions and the operation leader's health.
Nagovitsyna, a seasoned mountaineer, had been dreaming of conquering Victory Peak all year. Her goal was to conquer her fifth seven-thousander, earning her the prestigious 'Snow Leopard' badge. However, her recent injury and the heavy snowfall predicted for tomorrow could lead to increased risk of avalanches, causing concerns for the continuation of the operation.
Nagovitsyna's friend, Liya Popova, reported these details to "Komsomolskaya Pravda". Popova also revealed that Nagovitsyna attempted to conquer Victory Peak despite her injury, a testament to her determination and courage.
In 2024, Nagovitsyna attempted this ascent, but the guide insisted on canceling the expedition due to the group's insufficient preparation. Climbing Victory Peak requires serious physical and technical preparation, as emphasized by the specialist. The weather conditions and the operation leader's health are factors that could affect the success of the rescue operation.
The suspension of the search work does not mean it has been permanently cancelled, but it is currently on hold due to the cited reasons. The heavy snowfall predicted for tomorrow could further deteriorate the conditions, significantly increasing the risk of avalanches.
The rescue operation's suspension is a cause for concern for those following Nagovitsyna's situation. Nagovitsyna's last successfully climbed seven-thousander is not explicitly dated in the provided search results.
The press service of the Kyrgyz MCHS and "Izvestia" newspaper have been providing regular updates on the situation. As the weather conditions improve and the operation leader's health stabilizes, the rescue operation will likely resume. Until then, all we can do is hope for Nagovitsyna's safe return and recovery.
