U.S. mountaineer Hilaree Nelson has been found dead after attempting to ski down Manaslu in Nepal.
At 26,781 feet, Manaslu is a difficult peak for rescue efforts. Bad weather also hindered efforts on the mountain, according to the Himalayan Times and Outside.
Mountaineers praised the group efforts that took place across teams to respond to the avalanche. Furtenbach told ABC News Furtenbach Adventures lead guide Dave Watson was "working heroically" alongside Sherpa climbers and climber Patrick Hauser, while Purja posted that Surendra Paudel rescued two Sherpa climbers "in very tough conditions.". "They dug out the climbers who were buried and field first aid was given.
It had already been a difficult time on Manaslu before Monday for Nelson and Morrison. Late last week they turned around on a summit push when "the mountain said no,""I haven't felt as sure-footed on Manaslu as I have on past adventure into the thin atmosphere of the high Himalaya,"about the failed summit push. "These past weeks have tested my resilience in new ways. The constant monsoon with its incessant rain and humidity has made me hopelessly homesick.
