Batizovská próba is one of the exposed sections in the Gerlachovský štít massif. Movement in this area requires experience with high-mountain terrain and adequate equipment. In the event of an accident, the rescue effort can be complicated by steep rock sections and the inaccessibility of the terrain.
The rescue service has so far released information about the victim's age and nationality, the location of the fall, and its approximate length. The specific circumstances that preceded the fall are not known. The tragic event has once again drawn attention to the risks of moving through exposed parts of the High Tatras.
