Re: Capitol Peak Fatality
Ugh. Condolences to the friends and family. Also sympathy to those who saw it happen -- that can stick with you.
Re: Capitol Peak Fatality
My God. This is heartbreaking. 
And to have this happen on her last peak.
I feel so bad for her family and friends. I hope her family can come to terms with
how she died and not blame the sport, but celebrate her life.

We were on the Bells yesterday when we saw a helicopter fly by in the morning and then watched another circling Capitol in the afternoon. Sad to hear this incident was fatal. I wish to offer my deepest condolences to her family and friends.
Re: Capitol Peak Fatality
Rest-in-peace. I am so sorry reading of this. Capitol Peak is an unforgettable summit hike.
Sincerest condolences to family and friends.

Re: Capitol Peak Fatality
Rest in peace. Before I went to work yesterday in Breck my thought was what a perfect day to be out in the mountains. It's been a dangerous summer, everyone should take a moment to think. Please be careful out there as well.

Re: Capitol Peak Fatality
This is so sad to hear. Condolences to family and friends. I attempted this mountain late July and turned around at K2 due to weather. Grateful I didn’t push it.
Re: Capitol Peak Fatality
These threads make me so sad. I feel for her friends and family and pray for some peace for them and those who witnessed such a horrific accident. I’m always rattled by people doing what we all love but then not coming home at the end of the day to their loved ones. If there is anything I can do to help those affected please don’t hesitate to reach out
