Canada Global(Web News)A hiker died after slipping and falling on Mount Seymour in North Vancouver on Saturday,
North Shore Rescue has confirmed
The 28-year-old woman was camping near Pump Peak with a friend when she fell on steep snow and slid down the slope at 7:45 a.m., said research manager Stan Soudat. He said the friend thought she could hear a call and some voices, but the voices and calls quickly stopped and there was no further contact, after which she called 911.
After that, a rescue operation was launched, a team headed to the area by helicopter, but they could not land due to clouds covering the mountain peaks. Meanwhile, other crews climbed the mountain. Soudat said a total of 25 volunteers carried out the rescue operation during this time. The team found the hiker about 180 meters down. They tried everything they could to save her life, but she died. North Vancouver RCMP confirmed the death Saturday afternoon and expressed condolences to the woman’s family and friends.
