When Hilaree Nelson, 49, went missing on Monday, she and her companion were on their way down the eighth-highest summit in the world.
On Wednesday, rescuers discovered her body on the 8,163m (26,781ft) peak’s south face.
She and her partner Jim Morrison made history in 2018 when they were the first to ski down Mount Lhotse in Nepal, the fourth-highest peak in the world.
The world’s tallest mountain, Everest, and a neighbouring mountain, Lhotse, were both scaled by Hilaree Nelson for the first time in a single 24-hour period.
On Wednesday morning, according to the organizers of the expedition, Morrison and three Sherpa guides were lowered by helicopter to rescue Nelson’s body from a height of roughly 6,000 meters on Manaslu.
