A climber’s final ascent ended in tragedy as Mallory Geis, 39, and her team of ten were caught in a deadly avalanche on Pakistan’s Broad Peak—the twelfth-highest mountain on Earth. Though experienced on other peaks, this was Geis’s first attempt at Broad Peak. Her remains were recovered Friday by local volunteers, making her the last member of the expedition to be found. The avalanche severed contact with base camp at 9 AM local time. Her family described her as a “bright light,” mourning her loss while honoring all those affected. The climbing world is reeling from this devastating reminder of nature’s unforgiving power at extreme altitudes.
