As reported by Anna Piunova, a member of the Russian Mountaineering Federation, the Italian rescuers who arrived with the necessary equipment, including a Eurocopter helicopter, decided to stop the rescue operation and return home due to a sharp deterioration in weather conditions in the area of Pobeda Peak.
The head of the base camp of the rescuers, Dmitry Grekov, explained that the reason for refusing to continue the rescue operation was the heavy fog, which makes it impossible to use a helicopter and creates serious risks for the lives of the rescuers.
If the information about the death of Natalia Nagovitsina is confirmed, her body will most likely remain in the mountains until spring, since the 2025 climbing season is over, and search operations may not resume until 2026.
Recall that it was previously reported that a decent amount of money could be collected from the stuck climber Nagovitsina for the rescue.
