The Garmin inReach device has an SOS button. Once its pressed it alerts an emergency center with coordinates.

That must have been absolutely terrifying for her.

Love how a steep hill always becomes a cliff to the media, to me a cliff is vertical.

Did she fall or going up, panic and froze? No way she fall off the cliff, able to hold a cell phone, 2 hiking sticks on her hand and grab on the bolder/ rock.No sliding leg scrape only knee scrape from leaning close close to rocks. . Cant find article what happened that she stuck where she is at? Do anyone know.😊

Hope these success stories do not encourage people to further seek more adventures. Sometimes rescue operators do risk themselves to save people.

This is what it was like to own Bitcoin from 2015 to 2025.

Endangering the lives of rescuers is irresponsible. Think twice before you go on thrill seeking like, hiking by yourself.

I can’t stand stupid ppl that put others at risk for selfish endeavors.

Oddly, she had her phone in hand during the entire rescue, probably recording for her channels.
