Deaf hiker falls 700 feet, but when rescuers finally find her, she isnt alone

Adventure often calls to the young and daring, and for 21-year-old Amelia Milling, that call was impossible to resist. Unlike many of her peers who might have chosen beaches or city vacations, Amelia sought the wild, rugged landscapes of Alaska. Deaf since childhood, she never let her condition limit her ambitions. Instead, it strengthened her determination to prove her independence and courage.

Her plan was ambitious: a solo three-day hike through Alaska’s snow-covered mountains. At first, everything went smoothly. She navigated icy paths and steep climbs with confidence. But suddenly, her adventure turned into a nightmare.
