The place where the woman fell is difficult to access, and therefore the Fire Department even needed to use a zip line technique to reach her.

It took approximately fourteen hours for the Fire Department to rescue a 31-year-old climber who fell into a ravine in Serra do Cipó, in the central region of Minas Gerais. The accident occurred on Saturday afternoon (9) in the Río das Pedras waterfall, but the operation only ended at dawn on Sunday (10) when the military managed to take the woman in the Arcángel helicopter so that he could take her to the Hospital de Pronto Socorro (HPS) João XXIII, in Belo Horizonte.

More than 15 hours after plummeting down the bank, the woman was still a little conscious when firefighters managed to reach her. There are still no details on his health, but it is known that the climber suffered numerous abrasions on his body due to the fall. The call to the Fire Department was made at 2 pm this Saturday by a friend of the victim. On the phone, she stated that she did not know how high her friend had fallen, only reported that she was still conscious, but with bleeding in the ear and mouth.

The operation to save the climber lasted throughout the afternoon, night and dawn, given the difficulty of access to the point where she was lying down. The military had to use a zip line technique to descend through the crevice where the woman fell. The ravine, a geographical accident that is generally formed by the action of currents, where the accident occurred, is almost 40 km from the Serra do Cipó aerodrome, the only place where the Arcanjo helicopter could land.
