Climber Dies From Fall in the Gunks
20-Nov-2014
By Monica Nigon

Heidi Duartes Wahl, 28, died Saturday after falling on the classic Yellow Wall (5.11c PG13) in the Shawangunks of New York.  

Duartes Wahl, from Coyhaique, Chile, was 20 feet up the two-pitch trad route but hadn't placed any gear when her foot slipped, according to a friend who posted about the accident on gunks.com.

“She hit the ground and her partner immediately went over to her,” her friend wrote. “As far as I know she never regained consciousness.”

She was wearing a helmet.

Duartes Wahl was considered one of the strongest female climbers of Chile. She began sport climbing when she was 19 at Cerro Mackay near Coyhaique, and eventually became proficient in trad, ice and alpine, according to an interview with chileclimbers.cl. She had climbed in Peru and Argentina, and noted her time at the Yosemite-like big-walls of Cochamó in Patagonia as one of her career highlights.

Duartes Wahl had completed a Master’s of Health Science in Chile, studying HIV prevention. She had been pursuing a PhD in Denver when she died.

真是一刻也不能大意，6米高有头盔，也能摔死。太可惜了，博士，传统、攀冰和Alpine的老手是多么的难得。

从介绍看似乎是在相对容易但无保护的第一段大意了。

Yellow Wall难点处保护爆裂后，很多人已经建议过安全变为R了。难点处冲坠会有12-20米，看保护点的放置。
