The incident occurred near the mountain's summit, where the woman, who was hiking in the area, fell and sustained a foot injury that prevented her from continuing on her own.

The alert was received by Sos Deiak 112 shortly after eleven in the morning. Following the alert, a technician from the Directorate of Emergency Care of the Basque Government dispatched a helicopter from the Ertzaintza with agents from the Mountain Section of the Surveillance and Rescue Unit (UVR).

The aircraft carried out the rescue of the victim, a Spanish national, who was subsequently transferred to Galdakao hospital for treatment of her injuries.
