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.

IRELAND AM presenter Elaine Crowley became the second celeb eliminated from Dancing With The Stars tonight.
The TV host admitted she was gutted not to have lasted until Dedication Week next Sunday.
Elaine Crowley’s hairspray performance was not enough to keep her in the competitionkobpixThe star had a touching reason she was hoping to perform next weekkobpixChef Kevin Dundon also failed to impress judges this weekkobpix
Elaine told The Irish Sun: “Yes, I got kicked out of Dancing With The Stars second, which is a bit mortifying to be honest. But on the other hand, nothing serious happened.
“You just have to put it into perspective. It would have been lovely to stay dancing but it’s more a TV show than a dance competition.”
The 47-year-old also revealed the touching reason she had wanted to be in Dedication Week.
The Virgin Media star lost her nephew Ultan, 11, in 2023 after a short battle with cancer and had planned to invite his family to be in the audience.
Elaine said: “I was going to do it for my nephews because they have had a rough enough time. So I wanted to dance and bring them up to watch the show and dance in front of them. But you know, it wasn’t to be.”
She revealed she may have had an inkling that she would leave after “a shaky day” yesterday doing rehearsals.
Earlier, Elaine Crowley and her pro Denys Samson had scored 18 points for her jive to the song You Can’t Stop The Beat from movie Hairspray.
Brian told them: “That was really interesting to watch. After last week’s dance, I can see your confidence is coming back step by step. It needed more bounce but you’ve bounced back.”
Karen Byrne told them: “It needed a little bit more attack, but the real question is who’s using more hairspray, you or Denys?”
Arthur Gourounlian added: “No pain, no gain. Your arms were beautiful and so was your face. You didn’t give. Well done.”
It was Movie Week on Dancing With The Stars tonight, with the celebs transformed into characters from popular movies.
Opening the show, former Miss Universe Ireland, Aishah Akorede, landed 24 points for a Sister Act-inspired cha-cha-cha to Rescue Me by Fontella Bass with her partner Robert Rowiński.
Judge Karen Byrne told them: “You don’t need any rescuing tonight. What an opener!”
Arthur Gourounlian said: “You took the whole audience to the chapel.”
Brian Redmond added: “Mother Superior will be delighted.”

Gearóid Farrelly dressed up as The Artful Dodger from movie Oliver to lift partner Stephen Vincent during his American Smooth, which won them 22 points.
Brian said: “You have issues with your feet, but it’s your only Achilles heel. Please sir, can I have some more?”
Arthur said: “The jump was effortless my jaw dropped you keep surprising me.”
‘BIT SKITTISH’
Lip syncer Kayleigh Trappe quickstepped as a cat lady to the title track from Disney classic The Aristocats.
Brian said: “You were like a cat on a hot tin roof. Bit skittish, but you should be ‘feline’ a lot happier with yourself.”
Arthur added: “Your feet were so fast.”
Kayleigh scored 21 points.
Taekwondo star Jack Woolley and his pro dancer Alex Vladimirov dressed up as supervillains The Joker and Harley Quinn for a tango to last year’s Joker: Folie à Deux.
But Brian wasn’t impressed. He said: “That performance has inspired the bad guy inside me, it was not quite as good as I was hoping.”
Jack and Alex scored 23 points.
Meteorologist Joanna Donnelly had pals in the studio audience from Met Eireann to see her do a quickstep as Mrs Robinson from movie The Graduate.
GLITTERBALL STARS - ALL THE DWTS WINNERS
SERIES ONE – 2017: Former Kerry footballer Aidan O’Mahony beat the odds to be crowned Ireland’s first-ever Dancing With The Stars champion alongside pro partner Valeria Milova, beating out former Fair City star Aoibhin Garrihy and Red Rock actress Denise McCormack.
SERIES TWO – 2018: Singer Jake Carter – the younger brother of country crooner Nathan – was just 19 when he nabbed the Glitterball in 2018 with pro dancer Karen Byrne. And the dance partnership later blossomed into love for the popular pair, who confirmed they were dating months after their big win.
SERIES THREE – 2019: Popular presenter Mairead Ronan became the first female winner, landing the Glitterball with Kilkenny dancer John Nolan in 2019. The mum-of-three said her victory was proof “you can do anything you put your mind to”.
SERIES FOUR – 2020: The 2020 series finale was brought forward due to the outbreak of Covid-19, with 2FM star Lottie Ryan left in tears at clinching the trophy with pro partner Pasquale La Rocca.
SERIES FIVE – 2022: Returning to screens in 2022 after a year off in 2021 due to the continuing coronavirus crisis, ex-jockey Nina Carberry became the third woman on the trot to win the Glitterball, marking a second title for pro Pasquale.
SERIES SIX – 2023: RTE 2FM star Carl Mullan was left stunned back in 2023 when he lifted the Glitterball with pro Emily Barker. The underdog came out on top against fellow finalists Brooke Scullion, Suzanne Jackson and Damien McGinty.
SERIES SEVEN – 2024: Paralympian Jason Smyth came out on top as the 2024 series winner, with pro Karen Byrne becoming the second dancer to win the DWTS title twice. The legally blind athlete moved viewers to tears with an emotional showdance to secure the title.
Brian said: “You danced to a song from The Graduate but you don’t have an honours degree in dance yet.”
Arthur said: “Your upper body was in position and your lower body was living its best life, so you have work to do”
Joanna scored 17 points.
Mrs Brown’s Boys actor Danny O’Carroll was dressed up like Paul Mescal in Gladiator II, donning a black pleated roman kilt for his pasodoble with partner Salome Chachua.
Brian said: “This performance puts you right back on the red carpet.”
Karen said: “You took movie week by storm.”
Danny landed 25 points.
Kin actress Yasmin Seky looked to become Disney princess Moana when she and partner, Simone Arena performed a contemporary ballroom dance.
Brian said: “Disney are on the phone and want to hire you.”
Arthur said: “You embodied the character of Moana.”
Yasmin and Simone scored 26 points.
‘SOMETHING CLICKED IN YOU TONIGHT’
Chef Kevin Dundon donned a latex green head to jive as Shrek, but couldn’t disguise his bad dancing.
Brian said: “That jive was more donkey than Shrek.”
Arthur said: “You brought joy to movie week.”
Kevin scored eight points.
Olympian Rhys McClenaghan got a standing ovation from the judges when he danced as Spider-Man in a webbed red and blue body suit with partner Laura Nolan.
Brian said: “It’s an absolute honour to watch a gold medal Olympian with his ever improving dance skills.”
Arthur, awarding them the first 10 this season, said: “Rhys, something clicked in you tonight. You really connected. Love it.”
Rhys landed 29 points and ended the night at the top of the scoreboard.

Mark FergusonShe had been in Glasgow as host of Strictly’s Live Tour[/caption]
Opera singer Wynne was also spotted leaving the hotelMark Ferguson
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.”
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.”
