A rescue team saved a French climber after she and her climbing partner were stranded on Nanga Parbat, a deadly slope in Pakistan nicknamed “Killer Mountain.”

Elisabeth Revol, the French climber, was saved after a climbing team attempting to ascend the nearby K2 halted their summit and, by way of a Pakistani military helicopter, moved to Nanga Parbat to rescue the climbers, according to the BBC.

However, Revol’s climbing partner, Tomek Mackiewicz of Poland, was not saved.
