Two climbers performed a good deed on the Dachstein: They came to the aid of a Latvian tourist in a crevasse.
Two German climbers rescued a Latvian tourist from a crevasse on the Dachstein on Monday. The police reported this on Wednesday. Thanks to their quick intervention, the woman survived the accident hypothermic and soaked, but uninjured. The police warned: The conditions on the glacier are currently particularly challenging.
Man narrowly avoided fall into crevasse
The 46-year-old tourist was descending from the Hoher Dachstein with her husband. He started to slip and was just able to prevent a fall into a crevasse. But his wife, who wanted to come to his aid and also slipped, fell in. Two German climbers noticed and pulled the woman out with the help of other accident witnesses and a pulley.
