UDINE. Update at 21.30. Despite the overlap of several complex operations within the same hours and the consequent overload, the various Alpine Rescue teams together with the Financial Police and with the help of the two helicopters of the regional helicopter rescue and Civil Protection, have brilliantly concluded in a short time time, with a rationalization of the means and forces available, the two interventions in the Julian Alps and identified the two hikers missing on Mount Tinisa.
While the Civil Protection helicopter was bringing up, two hundred meters upstream of the point where the injured person was on the path that descends from the Pellarini Refuge, seven rescuers from the Cave del Predil station and the materials necessary for the recovery operations were in fact Two other requests for help were taken at 6.45 pm at the same time, one on the rocky wall of the Torre della Madre di Camosci, in the Jôf Fuart group (Julian Alps) and one on Mount Tinisa for two missing hikers.
The urgency to carry out the rescue before the arrival of darkness led in fact, shortly after 19, the operations center to decide to divert the Civil Protection helicopter from the Julian Alps scenario – where in the meantime the injured person was reached by rescuers and embarked to be transported on the shoulders with the help of safety ropes (in about two hours of walking) downstream (the personal details and age of the woman are not known, residing in the region anyway and delivered to the ambulance with probable fracture to a limb) – to that of the Carnic Alps on Mount Tinisa.
Here the two applicants for help – who at Casera Tintina had separated from a group of the Italian Alpine Club on an excursion, to return to the valley independently before concluding the uphill trip with the group – were in fact identified from above by the helicopter, on which two rescuers from the Guardia di Finanza had been boarded in Tolmezzo.
The intuition of the plant operator was fundamental, who imagined where the two women might have lost themselves, based on a comparison with an intervention that had already taken place on the same mule track (the one with Cai 233 signpost) for a family for a few months. ago, which had made the same mistake by finding herself lost near a stream.
The intuition turned out to be correct and, having identified the position of the two hikers just before the expiry of the flight schedule, the ground teams of the Forni di Sopra del Rescue Alpine station in the meantime moved up to Passo del Pura walk to join them as the helicopter returned to base.
On the second scenario of the Julian Alps, instead, the regional helicopter rescue was sent which, having identified the three mountaineers on the wall at 2000 meters above sea level, two girls and a boy from Ljubljana in his thirties, recovered with the winch, also here at the limit of the deadline. flight schedule, the three climbers.
Despite having started at 6.20 in the morning to climb the difficult Deye Peters edge, a very demanding route, they found themselves exhausted and dehydrated still on the wall at a late hour.
The man said he tried in vain to find a way out of the way to shorten the return time without succeeding. The helicopter rescue technician was lowered with the winch for the first time to first recover one of the two mountaineers.
Once this was brought back downstream and the on-board doctor disembarked with her (there were no health problems) to have more space in the aircraft, with a second rotation the pilot went to the place in front of the wall and lowered the technician again. of the Alpine Rescue to recover the other two mountaineers with a single winch.
Once the mountaineers landed at base camp, they were then accompanied by rescuers to their car.
Update at 19.30. Several interventions are engaging, on Sunday 5 September, the Alpine and Speleological Rescue teams of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
At 5 pm there was a request for help from a woman who was descending along the new path that connects the Pellarini Refuge to the valley floor, in the Julian Alps.
On the spot, the technicians of the Cave del Predil station embarked the woman and went down to the valley. At first, the rescuers decided to take her to a place suitable for recovery with the Civil Protection helicopter but, since the other interventions were then taken, the helicopter was hijacked on Mount Tinisa.
Shortly before 6.45 pm, two calls arrived simultaneously at the Sores via the Nue112 and then at the operations center of the Alpine Rescue.
Three foreign climbers got stuck on the face at an altitude of 2000 on Madre dei Camosci in the Jôf Fuart group, Julian Alps. The regional helicopter rescue was sent to the site and identified them and will attempt to recover them with the winch.
On Mount Tinisa, in the western Carnic Alps, two people are missing and have asked for help. Activated the ground teams of the Forni di Sopra station and hijacked the Civil Protection helicopter to try to locate them from above before dark.
