Requests for search by helicopter from Nepal have been declined by the Chinese government.
BEIJING: A second woman hoping to be the first American female climber to scale all of the world’s 8,000-metre mountains has been declared dead on a remote peak in Tibet, according to her family.
“The Rzucidlo family wants to share that Chinese authorities have declared my sister Gina and her Sherpa Tenjen Lama as deceased,” said Christy Rzucidlo in a post on Facebook. Rzucidlo and Gutu were climbing separately with their sherpas in their bids to become the first American female to scale all of the world’s 14 peaks that exceed 8,000 metres in elevation. Shishapangma was their final summit.
On Saturday, a total of 52 climbers were pushing for the summit when the avalanches hit, including from the US, Britain, Romania, Albania, Italy, Japan and Pakistan.
