Simrik Air has rescued a Spanish climber who slipped and injured his leg while climbing Mt Amadablam in Solukhumbu. Zapata López Soje Manuel was rescued from the height of 6,300 meters of Mt Amadablam. Simrik Air rescued him by using a long line rope. He was brought to the base camp soon after rescuing him from the mountain.

Later, he was brought to Kathmandu by a Simrik Air helicopter for treatment.

Manuel was climbing Mt. Amadablam on Sunday. The incident occurred between the second and third camps. He had gone for mountaineering from the 8k Expedition Company. Simrik Air pilot Siddharth Gurung, rescue specialist Chiring Dendup Bhote and Ang Tasi Sherpa rescued Manuel from Mt Amadablam by using a long line. They used the long line as it was difficult to land the helicopter in that place. “We succeeded in rescuing Manuel even in the bad weather condition,” Sherpa said, adding, “We faced difficulties in rescuing him due to strong winds. Despite difficulties, we continued our rescue efforts.”
