Speaker A
She plummeted down the steep cliff. Terror instantly consumed her. Just then, she grabbed onto a small bush growing from the cliff and somehow stopped her fall. She tried to find a foothold to climb up, but against the nearly vertical wall, she had nothing to
Speaker A
push off from. Below her was a terrifying abyss. If she let go, she would fall to her death. She screamed for help with all her strength, hoping someone nearby would hear her. But on this desolate cliff, she heard nothing
Speaker A
in return. Then, she spotted her backpack hanging on the branch. The phone inside was her only chance to survive. [music] Fighting back her fear, she slowly shifted her body. Suddenly, her foot slipped and she nearly fell into the
Speaker A
abyss. [music] Luckily, she held on tightly to the branch. She gritted her teeth and braced her toes against the rock. After a terrifying effort, she finally got the phone. The police received her distress signal, but before she could say her exact location,
Speaker A
[music] her foot slipped again. Her body instantly lost control and the phone fell into the abyss. Though she somehow caught the cliff again, the overwhelming fear broke her completely. [music] Thankfully, the police quickly traced her phone signal and locked onto her
Speaker A
approximate location. The rescue team split into multiple [music] groups to search using drones to scout the area.
Speaker A
Just then, the sky opened up with [music] pouring rain. The already steep, slippery cliff became even harder to stand on. Hanging in midair, the girl's mind finally collapsed. With a piercing scream, she slid toward the abyss again.
Speaker A
Though she miraculously got stuck again, the repeated blows left her in despair once more. On the other side, the rescue team's radios brought only bad news.
Speaker A
[music] All three teams had found no sign of the trapped girl. Just as the search reached a deadlock, [music] a drone caught a faint figure on the cliff. By now, the girl was at her limit, but the buzzing overhead
Speaker A
instantly ignited her instinct to survive. The technicians located her position and immediately reported it to every team. Even the closest team [music] would need 50 minutes at full speed to reach her. A young team member made a quick decision. He led his squad
Speaker A
down a shortcut, cutting diagonally down the mountain. Facing the nearly vertical stairs. They ran toward the target without hesitation. Just then, a trekking pole left on the cliff edge stopped them all in their tracks. When they peered over the edge, everyone
Speaker A
[music] gasped. The girl was only 50 m below, but a deadly problem lay before them. This was a bare cliff with no way to set a fixed anchor. At the critical moment, the captain led his team to find
Speaker A
a point parallel to the girl. [laughter] The situation was desperate. [music] There was no time to wait for more support. The captain could only use a tree trunk at the cliff edge as a temporary anchor. He slowly moved down
Speaker A
the rope toward the girl facing a near certain death. He struggled across the smooth rock face setting anchor points again [music] and again constantly adjusting his position risking everything to inch closer to her. Just then, the girl in extreme panic saw
Speaker A
someone approaching. Her emotions instantly spiraled out of control and she clung desperately to the rescuer.
