Two slides on the 8000m peak that caught a bunch of folks, Nelson missing from separate incident on same day.

An undeniable legend in the sport, one of the best to do it.

This is devastating news. Since reading about it, there seems to be many conflicting reports. Did she fall 80 ft into a crevasse, 2,000 ft into a crevasse, or just off the side of the mountain an unknown distance? Were they able to get a helicopter up there today to look for her? Sending prayers her way for a miracle. 

there was a helicopter with her partner up today looking for her.

“Still, the last sad memory hovers round, and sometimes drifts across like floating mist, cutting off sunshine and chilling the remembrance of happier times. There have been joys too great to be described in words, and there have been griefs upon which I have not dared to dwell; and with these in mind I say: Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.”
― Edward Whymper, Scrambles Amongst the Alps
