The travelers told about the situation near Victory Peak

Travelers Valeria Mikhailova and Rosalia Khalikova, while in the mountains, were guided by the case of climber Natalia Nagovitsina, who was stuck on Victory Peak with a broken leg. They informed Izvestia about this on August 22.

According to Mikhailova, while in the mountains, they heard about what happened to Nagovitsina. Khalikova, in turn, stressed that such a thing should not be heard in the mountains.

"The Internet actually played a cruel joke, because it was all raining down on us. We understand that this is next to us, and it is unnecessary, it causes a lot of tension, of course," Valeria said.

Rosalia stressed that the travelers decided to focus not only on the weather, but also on the case of a medical emergency, because they did not want to hang out and wait for evacuation.
