That mountain is right outside our window, We look at it everyday and are amazed by it's beauty... It is hard to think something like this could happen...

Such tragic news :( My heart is heavy.

Hope the other hiker is found alive. They will be in my thoughts.

A friend of mine was hiking with her then-boyfriend (now husband) in the mountains of New Zealand, when he fell and hurt his leg badly. Thankfully Chris is a former lifeguard, and had lots of first-aid training, and was able to help him up, get him to a safer spot, keep him warm when shock set in, and get help, so it had a happier ending. They did make the NZ newspapers, though!

Terrible news. :( I pray they find the other person alive and well. Hugs to you Melissa.

I have not had the nerv to turn on the news yet but seeing as it is 7am here i don't think there willl be much news yet.

She was walking on a ice feild ontop of the mountain. She ended up on the east side of the mountain after her fall of 153 meters.

The guy is suppost to be a advid hiker with loads of experience so i'm Praying he didn't fall with her...

I hope that find the other hiker. Not meaning to change the subject or sound unsympathetic, but what a beautiful view you have. It is so odd how something so beautiful and captivating could be so lethal and mysterious.
