Climber endures 6-hour trek with embedded stick
An American climber, 32 years old, was seriously injured when a climbing stick pierced his body while he was ascending the summit of "Granite Peak" in Montana. It exited through his back without hitting any vital organs. Despite this, Sevaldi was able to walk for 10 miles across rocks and snow, taking about 6 hours, preferring this option over requesting helicopter aid, which would have cost between $36,000 and $40,000. He was later transported to the hospital to have the stick removed. Estimates indicate that the cost of air ambulance flights in the United States can reach up to $50,000, varying depending on insurance coverage and the length of the flight.
