Heroic climber dies saving friend from falling ice in Utah
A 41-year-old woman died while ice climbing in Utah after pushing a fellow climber to safety before being crushed by a falling ice column. The incident occurred while the group was attempting to ascend Raven Falls, a towering waterfall near Utah's Indian Canyon. The woman's gesture "probably saved" the life of the 21-year-old climber she pushed out of the way. The 34-year-old man who was climbing with them was seriously injured and transported to a nearby hospital. The woman's body was recovered after a joint effort by county search and rescue teams, EMS, volunteers with the local fire department, and volunteer ice climbers.
