Laura Dahlmeier Recovery Halted After New On-Site Assessment

Her management cites an expert on-site reassessment that advised against a recovery for now.

Overview

  • An international group of climbers and rescue specialists evaluated the location on Laila Peak and concluded that a retrieval should not proceed at this time, according to a statement shared with dpa.
  • No specific reasons were released, but earlier efforts were hindered by rockfall, weather and terrain at high altitude after Dahlmeier was fatally struck by rockfall on July 28.
  • Media reports say she had written that no one should be put in acute danger to recover her remains, and that wish is being considered in current decisions.
  • ARD’s New Delhi bureau reported that Bavarian alpinist Thomas Huber was involved in the latest on-site evaluation.
  • RTL removed a pre-recorded challenge featuring Dahlmeier from its show Drei gegen Einen and will dedicate Saturday’s episode to her, citing respect and consideration.
