Famous American climber died in the mountains of Nepal: an avalanche pushed her off the slope

The body of the famous American skier Hilary Nelson was found after she fell down a narrow slope 5000 feet (1,5 km) high while hiking in the Himalayas two days earlier. Writes about it The Guardian.

Nelson and her partner Jim Morrison summited Manaslu Peak (Nepal) at 26 feet (781 km) on September 8,1 in the morning. They reached the summit at 26:10 a.m. "under difficult conditions," Morrison wrote in an Instagram post. The pair switched from climbing to skiing downhill to regroup with their team.

“I went first, followed by Hilary. There was a small avalanche. She was knocked off her feet and carried down a narrow snowy slope down the south side (opposite the climbing route) of the mountain, Morrison wrote. “I did everything in my power to find her. But I couldn't get down that slope. For the past two days, I have been looking for her from the air in a helicopter.

Morrison wrote that he and a rescue team landed at 22 feet (000 km) and found the missing body on the morning of September 6,7.

Nelson, 49, who has two children, is one of the world's most famous climbers, having been involved in the sport for over two decades. On their website, North Face described her as "the most successful climber of her generation."

In 2012, she became the first woman to summit Everest and the summit of neighboring Mount Lhotse in 24 hours.

In 2018, Hilary was awarded the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year after skiing Lhotse for the first time.

“There are no words to describe the love for this woman, my life partner, my love, my best friend and my mountain partner,” Morrison wrote. “My loss is indescribable and I am focused on her children and our lives beyond.”

Nelson's friends said that, among other things, she was known for her stamina and grace in the face of adversity.

“She had heroic powers — not only in the mountains, but also in her community, in her family,” said climber and videographer Renan Ozturk. “The resilience with which she had to step out of her comfort zone and laugh in the face of dire situations speaks volumes about her positive attitude.”

Conditions on Manaslu were harsh in the days before Nelson and Morrison climbed to the top of the mountain. Even before the ascent, Hilary expressed doubt that they would eventually make it to the summit, as heavy rain and humidity made it difficult to climb.

“I never felt as confident on Manaslu as I did on past adventures in the rarefied atmosphere of the high Himalayas,” she wrote. “These last weeks have tested my resilience in a new way.”

Another isolated avalanche at the bottom of the mountain killed one climber and injured a dozen others.

Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world, has had a busy season. According to Outside Magazine, the Nepalese government has issued 404 fall climbing permits, up from 150 last year. Although the mountain is considered one of the highest peaks, which is the easiest to climb, its massive avalanches are deadly, for example, in 2012, an avalanche claimed the lives of eight climbers.
