Rescuers desperately scrambled to the scene of the accident in a chopper but were unable to save her.

Micah had been climbing with a pal when the tragedy occurred, which was also witnessed by a group of climbers across the canyon.

The 30-year-old’s heartbreaking final Facebook post revealed her love for rock climbing and how she only returned to the hobby after a long break.

Micah wrote on New Year’s Eve 2024: “‘I have been outside climbing since 2014 but in the past four years it’s been on the back-burner.

“I love sport climbing and it was special for me to reignite this passion for myself this year.

“Thank for all the belays and moments I got to spend outside. I am hungry for more.”

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department explained that they carried out two rescue missions simultaneously on the climbing route hotspot dubbed Cat in the Hat on the afternoon of January 18.

Rescue workers rushed to Micah’s aid, meanwhile other responders desperately extracted four climbers who got their rope terrifyingly stuck across the canyon.

Micah’s heartbroken family said on a fundraising page that the party of four witnessed her tragic accident from across the gorge.

The late 30-year-old’s boyfriend, Robert, also shared a heart-wrenching tribute to the climber on Instagram a mere few days after her passing.

He said: “This weekend, I lost my best friend, my partner in crime, my girlfriend. I am crushed.

“Micah was a truly special person. She was outgoing, courageous, and a blessing to anyone who had the chance to meet her. 

“I will always cherish the time we spent together.

“She absolutely meant the world to me, and I wish we could have shared more of this world with each other.”

Micah’s mourning sister Michel Manalese also paid tribute to the late climber on Thursday.

She wrote on Instagram: “Last Saturday, Micah had an accident and passed away doing what she loves, rock climbing.

“She had been climbing for 10 years. It was her one of her many passions and talents in life. My family, her friends, and I have been grieving this tremendous loss.

“I miss you so much Micah. You were so talented, creative, beautiful, strong, and full of energy.

“I’m so lucky to have you as my sister.

“I wish I could hug you, tell you how much you make me proud, and how you were the best big sister I could ask for.”

The fundraiser described how Micah would often practice climbing at Sender One in Santa Ana, California.

The 30-year-old was from Carson, Southern California, and had been residing in nearby Aliso Viejo, as per her Facebook profile.

She also worked as a cashier at Wild Rivers and studied at California State University, the page said.

Strictly’s Janette Manara spends quality time with her husband Aljaz after Wynne Evans’ shock sexual jibe

STRICTLY’s Janette Manrara spent quality time with her husband Aljaz following Wynne Evans’ vile sexual comments.

The opera singer let slip the shock remark at the start of the Strictly live tour shows.

Wynne was recorded suggesting a threesome with mum-of-one Janette, using the term “spit roast”.

On Instagram, the It Takes Two host revealed she was spending quality time with husband Aljaz Skorjanec.

She shared a clip of their daughter Lyra sitting on Aljaz’s knee in a Glasgow hotel restaurant.

Later on, Janette dressed for cold weather in a black winter hat along with a long sleeved striped jumper. 

The dancer turned presenter had been in Glasgow through her role as host of the Strictly tour.

Aljaz was spotted carrying two large suitcases out of their hotel as the tour’s cast head to Liverpool for two shows. 

Wynne likewise exited the hotel and made his way to a waiting car. 

The Welsh vocalist wore jeans and a black coat as he passed fans outside.

The BBC Wales presenter, 52, is thought to be “hanging onto” his day-job after the derogatory remark came to light.

It came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, when the Go Compare singer reportedly made a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when he allegedly made the joke.

An image shows Wynne, wearing a blue top, glancing over his right shoulder at Janette, who can be seen standing next to him gazing at the floor.

He has since issued an apology and told The Mail on Sunday: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”

In addition, Wynne had shared images of his bruised ankle in a story on Instagram after his injury threw preparations for the live show into chaos.

Wynne Evans' Strictly scandals

‘Grope’

Wynne encountered a backlash after his Strictly pro partner Katya was filmed removing his hand from her waist.

Fans insisted she looked uncomfortable as she moved it away – but Katya later insisted there was no problem.

In joke

They then sparked further fury, when she was seen refusing to high-five the Opera singer.

The duo were quick to issue a video apology and insisted it was all an innocent “inside joke”.

Crude joke

Wynne came under fire for allegedly telling a “crude” joke to one of the show’s make-up artists.

Insiders claim the opera star made a joke that the folds of his double chin “looked like a vagina”.

A source said: “It was a bit of a vulgar dad joke.”

Vile comment

Wynne was recorded suggesting a three-way sex ­session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term “spit roast”.

His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting.

He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke.

Wynne has apologised saying: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”

In a video posted on the social media site on Saturday evening, he said: “Ankle’s getting a bit better, it was great to be able to sing in Glasgow tonight, even if I couldn’t dance, hopefully back tomorrow.

“But watch this space, I’ll let you know in the morning. See how the swelling goes down, and all that kind of stuff, thanks for all the lovely messages, amazing.”

BBC and Strictly Live producers said: “We have made it clear to Wynne we do not tolerate such behaviour on tour.”

Janette’s spokeswoman said she had been “unaware of this comment.”
