Ruth Woroniecki: 200 Foot Fall on Cucamonga Peak | E83

Ruth Woroniecki: 200 Foot Fall on Cucamonga Peak | E83

In our story today, we delve into the harrowing experience of Ruth Woroniecki, a 40-year-old adventurer who embarked on a seemingly idyllic hike to Cucamonga Peak, one of Los Angeles' most sought-after mountaintops, towering over 8,000 feet. Little did she know that her descent from the summit would become a life-changing ordeal.

Picture this: the sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the snow-covered landscape. As Ruth made her way down the mountain, a sense of tranquility enveloped her. But her serenity was short-lived. As she approached an exceptionally icy segment of the trail, her heart quickened with the realization that she was ill-equipped to traverse the perilous terrain with the necessary traction. The next thing she knew she was awakening after a 200 foot fall with some significant injuries.
