A second woman hoping to be the first American female climber to scale all of the world’s tallest mountains has been declared dead on a remote peak in Tibet.
BEIJING — A second woman hoping to be the first American female climber to scale all of the world’s tallest mountains has been declared dead on a remote peak in Tibet, according to her family. China has suspended all activities on Shishapangma since two avalanches hit the mountain on Saturday, killing American climber Anna Gutu and her Nepalese guide Mingmar Sherpa, according to Chinese state media.
Rzucidlo and Gutu were climbing separately with their sherpas in their bids to become the first American woman to scale all of the world’s 14 peaks that exceed 8,000 meters, or 26,246 feet, in elevation. Shishapangma was their final summit.
