चौखंबा 3 चोटी पर फंसी 2 महिला पर्वतारोही HOW 2 WOMEN CLIMBERS STRANDED & RESCUED : CHAUKHAMBA III

Two foreign women mountaineers, Michelle Theresa Dvorak from the USA and Fay Jane Manners from the United Kingdom, who were stranded at a height of 6250M TO 6400M metres on way to the Chaukhamba III peak in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district, were safely rescued on October 6, 2024. The resuce operation by the Indian Air Force (IAF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF) began a day after 2 women climbers sent an SOS call.

The two were part of a foreign mountaineering expedition by the IMF. As per reports, they got stranded after their bag containing food and vital climbing gear fell into a gorge when they were at a height of 6,015 metres on way to Chaukhamba III peak situated at 6,995 metres. During this, they lost most of their their communication equipement, however, they somehow managed to sent an SOS call.
Though looking somewhat tired, the experienced mountaineers wore a smile when they were brought to the Jyotirmath (Joshimath) helipad by the Indian Air Force (IAF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel on Sunday morning. The rescue operation beagn on friday but the challenging terrain of Chaukhamba III, which includes risky glaciers, steep ice and rock faces, thin air at high altitudes, made it very difficult for helicopters to access the area. The report also added that the climbers could see the aerial search conducted but could not give them signal as they had lost all their rescue equipment.
