Just it worthy to note that the female climber killed by avalanche in the China mountaints was my parents' neighbor. She was probably the most famous female mountain climber. Most of the people in my dad's neighborhod are like accountaints and doctors, so the blonde mountain climber stood out. Interestingly, she was the second owner of a Seattle mountain climbing school, and the first owner died on Mount Everest in the infamous 1996 'Into Thin Air' expedition.
