The rescuer called the climb to Victory Peak one of the most difficult.

Although not all the way to the top, the climb is considered one of the most difficult in the former USSR. That's why the journey takes so long — not because of the rest, but because the mountain itself is very high and difficult to traverse.

On August 19, an international-class rescuer, former deputy head of the Centrospas detachment of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Hero of Russia Vladimir Legoshin, who took part in dozens of rescue operations, said that Nagovitsina found herself in a lethal adaptation zone at Victory Peak in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Staying at such an altitude is deadly, because a person is literally dying every minute, he said, adding that the chances of saving a Russian woman are extremely low, Moscow 24 reports.

At the same time, Alexander Pyatnitsin, vice-president of the Russian Mountaineering Federation, said that Natalia was not prepared for such a route. According to him, helicopters will not be able to get close to Nagovitsina at such an altitude due to the thinness of the air. 360.ru .
