[Reporter Liu Binquan/Report from Nantou] New Year’s Eve was off for three consecutive days. Two female climbers went to Dalin Road, Nantou County to climb Jinzi Mountain. However, one of the 45-year-old female climbers accidentally slipped and sprained her foot in the evening. For the operation, the Nantou County Fire Department sent personnel into the mountain to search and rescue on the same day, but the search and rescue team contacted the female mountain friend yesterday (1st) afternoon, but due to bad weather, the air crew helicopter could not be dispatched to hang. Even worse, the search and rescue team decided to go down with the female mountain friend on their backs. However, the path in the mountain area is narrow and rainy, so the movement is slow. It is expected to return to the mountaineering entrance tomorrow (3rd).

The fire department said that two female climbers climbed Jinzi Mountain from Dalin Road in the county during the New Year’s Eve. Suspected fracture, because the sky was dark at that time, the air crew helicopter could not be on duty to hang, so a 4-member ground search and rescue team was first sent into the mountain to help.

On the morning of New Year's Day, due to bad weather, the air crew was unable to be on duty, and the ground troops came into contact with the female mountain friend at 5 o'clock that evening. Fortunately, the left hand was not broken, and the sprained right foot was bandaged, and the injury tended to be stable.

This morning, due to the deterioration of the weather in the mountainous area, the rain was heavier, and the air crew was still unable to dispatch. The ground search and rescue team carried the injured female mountain friend down the mountain with their backs. The road surface is wet and slippery, resulting in a slow descent. We will also send 2 more people up the mountain today. They must join up with the search and rescue team as soon as possible to help with the load to reduce the pressure of the descent. It is expected that we will still camp in the mountains tonight and will not return to the mountain tomorrow. mountain pass.
