It was noted that the climbing season in 2025 is over, the search for the climber’s tent will not begin before the spring of 2026. Already at an altitude of 6,000 meters, rescuers encountered a snowstorm, which did not allow the search to continue.

Nagovitsyna suffered a broken leg at 7,000 meters and was unable to descend. According to SHOT sources, the woman did not survive. Initially, it was indicated that her body could be evacuated only when weather conditions improved, when a helicopter could reach the summit.
The climber was injured on August 12 during her descent. Her partner provided her with first aid and went to the camp for help. Later, two foreign athletes tried to help the victim, but were forced to leave her due to fatigue and bad weather.
