The three climbers fell 400 feet to their death. One climber survived and went for help star-news.press/wp

Klimbar for rock that fell hundreds of legs descending on the steep pads in Washington mountains that survived the fall that killed his three companions, then drove to the payment phone to call the help, the government said on Tuesday.

Survivors of the climber, Anton Tselykh, 38, pulled out of the plot of ropes, helmets and other equipment after the fall Saturday evening. Despite the suffering of bleeding and head trauma, Tselykh eventually, over at least a ten hours made the way on the payment phone, he told the Okanogan district, said Okanogan County.

The climbers that were killed were Vishnu Iriirsteddy, 48, Tim Nguyen, 63, Oleksander Martynenko, 36, said Okanogan Coroner Dave Rodriguez.

Authorities have not yet been able to interview the survivors, which is in the seat in Seattle, Rodriguez said, is so much still unknown for autumn and Tselykh’s journey.

Pads like this leading up to three deaths are extremely rare, Cristina Woodworth said, which leads to Sheriff’s search and rescue team. Seven years ago were two climbs Killed in the fall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park in California.

A group of four scaled wounds winters, serrated peaks divided by cleft that is popular with climbers in the north cascading range, about 160 miles (257 kilometers) northeast of the seat. Tselykh has been hospitalized in Seattle.

A group of four meets the disasters that night when the anchor for fastening the rope torn from the rock as they descended, Rodriguez said. The anchor they used, they seemed to have set up a metal spike that called Python, he said at the past climbers, he said.

They ran about 200 feet (60 meters) into a sloping galcan, then collapsed at another 200 feet before they rested, said Yarnell. Authorities believe the group is taken back, but turned to see when they saw a storm approaching.

The three-story search and rescue team arrived to the place falls on Sunday, Woodworth said. The team used coordinates from the devices that were worn, which shared a friend of men.

Once they found a site, they called the helicopter to remove the bodies one in time due to the rough terrain, Woodworth said.

On Monday, they dropped out over the recovered equipment trying to decipher what caused a fall, Woodworth said. They found a python – basically a small metal spike that is driving into stone cracks or ice and used as anchor climbers – it is still stabbed in climbers.

“There is no other reason to be hooked in the rope if he doesn’t get out of the rock,” Rodriguez, the coroner said, noticing that pintons usually stuck in the rock quickly. Rodriguez added that when in the rappelation, all four could not hang from one python at the same time, but turning down the mountain.

Pythons remained in the walls. They can be there for years or even decades, and they can become less confident with time.

“It looked old and roughly, and the rest of their equipment looked newer, so we assumed it was old python,” Woodworth said.

Cliff climbers are accumulated by ropes for anchor, such as pythons or other climbing equipment. Ropes are intended to arrest the fall if they should slide, and usually climbers use a backup, Joshua Cole, guide and co-owner of mountain guides for northern cascades for about 20 years.

In general, it would be unusual to take out to one python, said Cole, adding that it was still unknown what happened that night on the wall.

“In the end, if possible, we would like to get more information than the survivor of the party,” Woodworth said.

Spirsers are a popular climbing place. The route was picked out, said Cole, was moderate difficulty and requires moving between ice, snow and rocks.

But the conditions, the amount of ice for example, can be quickly changed with the weather, he said, even a week in a week or day by day, changing the route risks.
