The 49-year-old American, who has enjoyed a famed career spanning over two decades, reportedly disappeared below the summit of Nepal’s Mount Manaslu – the world’s eighth-highest mountain. “We are in touch with Hilaree’s family and supporting search and rescue efforts in every way we can,” apparel company The North Face, one of Nelson’s sponsors, tweeted on Monday. Nelson is a mother of two, and her partner is also an experienced ski mountaineer, Jim Morrison, according to The North Face.
Last week, Nelson wrote an Instagram post about the challenges of the trip along with pictures of the expedition. “I haven’t felt as sure-footed on Manaslu as I have on past adventure into the thin atmosphere of the high Himalaya,” she wrote, mentioning the bad weather which has plagued climbers in recent days. “These past weeks have tested my resilience in new ways.” Morrison also posted on Instagram saying: “We went up high and tried hard but the mountain said no.
