They later found out that one woman was in her early 20s and suffered severe head trauma. The other woman, who was in her mid-30s, sustained spinal, hip and leg injuries, possibly a broken hip and spine. Wu didn’t think she was paralyzed.
He heard that the first woman began tumbling after she slipped and the second woman attempted to glissade down the mountain to help, but lost control. The three fell at an approximate elevation of 13,000 feet and finally came to a stop at an elevation of about 12,500 feet."
