A climber in Utah was rescued Sunday from a mountainous area known as Certain Death after a large rock the size of a refrigerator rolled on top of him, officials said.
Rescue crews responded around 4 p.m. to a call of an injured climber in the Gate Buttress area of Little Cottonwood Canyon, which is part of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest located about 15 miles from Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue said in a statement.
Two climbers had been navigating new routes in a waterfront area above a location called Certain Death when the accident occurred, the statement said.
Officials said she had few supplies and little food but was resourceful and wanted solitude.
A survival expert told Insider how the woman might ve been able to survive the extreme conditions.
In November, when Forest Service officials in Utah were preparing to close up parts of the Spanish Fork Canyon for the winter, they discovered a seemingly abandoned car in a campground parking lot.
A search-and-rescue crew set out to look for the woman the car belonged to but came up dry. Detectives spent months trying, without success, to find and contact her family. Five and a half months passed without any sign of her.
