Climber Saved from Scary Slide Off Snow Ramp


Occurred on November 17, 2018 / Tlaxcala, Mexico

Info from Licensor: "After making the summit at the La Malinche volcano, we began to descend. I was guiding my group of friends, we began to descend the snow ramp and they came behind me. The 32-year-old girl told me that she tried to get up but slipped, my two friends tried to grab her hand but could not reach her. As soon as I heard the screams, I turned and saw how she was falling. I went to intercept her and saw she was not wearing a helmet. I tried to protect her head while she tried to stop us with her feet. We fell approximately 40 meters until we stopped. We had no injuries beyond scratches on the back and legs. We descended the rest of the mountain and returned home safe and sound."
