”Battery remaining at 16%”... Climber rescued after falling off mountain at minus 10 degrees Celsius = South Korea

A climber in his 30s fell while descending a mountain and was trapped in minus 10 degree cold, but was rescued after about 10 hours.
According to the Gyeonggi Fire and Disaster Headquarters on the 22nd, at around 5:08 pm on the 21st, "Yongmun (
A man in his 30s reported that he had fallen while descending from Baegun Peak in Yongmunsan Mountain. At the time, a tree that he was leaning on to rest broke, causing him to fall.
The situation room of the Gyeonggi Fire and Disaster Headquarters, which received the report, continued to call Mr. A to check on his health and to determine his location.
At the same time, six members of the Yangpyeong Fire Department 119 Rescue Team and two ambulance crew members gathered at Baekwoonsan Mountain in Yongmunsan Mountain and began full-scale rescue operations.
The team members who arrived at the scene found that A's cell phone battery was only at 16% and told him to turn it off and turn it on again every 30 minutes to contact them.
Heavy snow had fallen the day before, making it difficult to see the hiking trail, but rescue workers climbed the mountain, digging their way through the nonexistent paths as time ran out.
Rescue workers found Mr. A near a steep valley at around 7:56 p.m., approximately two hours and 50 minutes after the initial report was received.
However, due to snow accumulation at the landing site, HYERI withdrew and the rescue operation was delayed. Furthermore, as the sun set, the temperature at Longmunsan dropped to minus 6.5 degrees, and Mr. A suffered muscle pain, convulsions, vomiting (
He began to show symptoms of hypothermia and collapsed, and the ambulance crew also began to show symptoms of hypothermia. Fortunately, six other crew members joined them, and the descent was sped up. A was dead at 3:16 a.m. on the following day, the 23rd.
At the time, the members of the Yangpyeong Fire Station 119 Rescue Team had received instructions to go on the scene on their way back to the station after finishing extinguishing a fire that had broken out in their jurisdiction just before A's call.
They were immediately deployed to the rescue without time to rest or eat. As the rescue effort dragged on, the temperature dropped to minus 10.4 degrees by 2 a.m., and some of the rescue team members suffered frostbite on their ears.
Other firefighters also had severe swelling in their hands and feet due to water and ice that had gotten into their gloves and shoes during the rescue operation. Firefighter Woo told Yonhap News, "The victim's cell phone was off so we couldn't talk to him.
It would have been a disaster if they had done so," he said. "All firefighters would have acted the same way; they were just doing their job, working with taxpayers' money."
