Original Note:
This is a fabricated retelling of a 1974 Soviet climbing disaster. There is no evidence they ‘refused help from men’, nor said ‘we’re fine’ over the radio. They only needed help once a storm hit, and no rescue party were able to assist them: https://www.nytimes.com/1974/08/13/archives/8-sovietwomen-climbers-killed-by-storm-in-lenin-peak-ascent.html
