US mountaineer Hilaree Nelson's body found after avalanche on peak in Nepal

Ms Nelson's and Morrison's first major ski mountaineering expedition together was in 2017, when they travelled to the Indian Himalayas to attempt the first ski descent of Papsura, a 6,451m mountain known as the Peak of Evil.

Two weeks after returning to the United States, they climbed the Cassin Ridge, a highly technical route on Denali in Alaska, skiing down the mountain's Messner face in what has been lauded as one of North America's top ski mountaineering feats. This week, Ms Nelson and Mr Morrison were pushing the limits again on Manaslu, regarded among mountain researchers and climbers as among the more dangerous of the world's 14 8,000m peaks because of its propensity for avalanches.
