A 38-year-old mountaineer, a resident of

Barcelona

, ​​died this Sunday after falling from a ridge in the Huesca municipality of

Sahún,

in the

Aragonese

Pyrenees .

The woman has been rescued alive, but, given the seriousness of the injuries, she has died while being transferred to

Benasque

by the Civil Guard helicopter.

The accident took place on the

Bardamina ridge,

3,079 meters high, where the mountaineer fell down a snowy slope towards the

Chelau de Llardanas ibón,

located in the

At noon this Sunday, 112 received the notice from the mountaineer's companion, informing the

Huesca Civil Guard

of the situation while explaining that he could not access the place where he had fallen.

The

Benasque Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group

has traveled to the indicated place in the helicopter of the

Civil Guard Air Unit

supported by a doctor from 061.

A specialist and the doctor have descended with the helicopter's crane while another agent evacuated the person who gave the warning, a 56-year-old man, also from Barcelona, ​​who was in a frown, although unharmed.

The doctor has treated the victim on the ground at first and has stabilized her, as reported by the

Civil Guard,

before evacuating her to the Benasque helipad.

A 112 helicopter was waiting there for his transfer to a hospital.

However, due to the injuries he suffered, he finally passed away before being transferred to the hospital.
