Hilaree Nelson, 49, was skiing down from the 26,775 feet summit with her partner Jim Morrison when she fell off the mountain...
Bad weather hampered rescue efforts Monday. But visibility was good in improved weather conditions Tuesday while a helicopter was hovering over the mountain to see any signs of the missing climber...
Nelson, from Telluride, Colorado, and Morrison, from Tahoe, California, are extreme skiers who summited Mount Lhotse, the world’s fourth-highest peak, in 2018.

I recall being told that mountain climbing will seriously injure or kill you or it will seriously injure or kill someone else you know who is also into mountain climbing.

Sounds like a dangerous hobby …
While I enjoy a mixed alpine climb, skiing back down is nuts.
Was she named after Edmund Hillary just like Hillary Clinton? Even though Edmund Hillary was unknown and obscure until he climbed Mount Everest 4 years after Hillary Clinton was born?

Hope that she can be found alive.

How did he get inside the mountain?
Did he have a car that could cross into the 10th dimension like Buckaroo Banzai?
If so, this would be the 2nd suspicious death he was associated with. He also hiked out into the desert in California with some friends (before he formed the Doors) to take peyote. One of them never hiked back out.
How is she missing “in” a mountain?
