A 40-year-old Colorado woman was on her way back to her Lytle Creek campsite early Christmas Eve morning when she slipped on a patch of ice and fell nearly 200-feet near Cucamonga Peak. As she awaits surgery, authorities are reminding every to take extra care and be prepared for the worst when hitting the trails.
A woman is recovering after miraculously surviving a nearly 200-foot fall while hiking near Cucamonga Peak on Christmas Eve. Ruth Woroniecki, 40, had left her Lytle Creek campground early Saturday morning to hike to the peak, one of the highest found in the San Gabriel Mountains.
She came too after another hiker found her, contacting authorities with their GPS device. Due to the spot where she landed, the hiker"equipped with crampons and an ice axe, hiked to her location and assessed her condition." "She seemed a little dazed, confused, but very thankful we were able to get her off that mountain," said Deputy Doug Brimmer, who flew the"40 King 4" rescue helicopter the day of Woroniecki's rescue."She initially went feet first and then she hit her head on a log and she went unconscious. She woke up to another hiker helping her out."
