One mountain climber's survival is being called "miraculous" after a 200-foot fall onto jagged rock in Washington state Sunday that killed the three other men in his group.

One man, Anton Tselykh, 38, from Seattle, will live to tell the tale of an apparent anchor failure that sent him and his climbing group plunging 200 feet down the North Early Winters Spire area of the Cascades, then sliding uncontrollably another 200 feet down a chute, before collecting as a group, severely injured and tangled in their climbing gear.

The Okanogan County Sheriff's Office released the identities of the four men Tuesday. Those that died are Vishnu Irigireddy, 48, from Renton; Tim Nguyen, 63, from Renton; and Oleksander Martynenko, 36, from Bellvue.

Those three men suffered massive leg and cranial traumas, Okanogan County Undersheriff David Yarnell told NBC News. Tselykh, somehow, did not have any broken bones, but has internal injuries and head trauma.

Tselykh remains in satisfactory condition Wednesday, said Susan Gregg, director of media relations for UW Medicine.
