Gina Marie And Her Guide Tenjen (Lama) Sherpa Gone Missing In The Avalanche
Anna Gutu, 32, a traveler from the United States, and Mingmar Sherpa, her Nepalese guide, were reported missing. On Sunday, their bodies were found in the snow, confirming that they had died.
This time, it was Gina Marie Rzucidlo, 45, and Tenjen Sherpa, who went missing in the snow. At least 120 people have died in the area in the last two years because of the snow. Both of them are still lost.
Both women were trying to be the first American women to reach the real tops of the world’s only eight-thousanders, which are a group of mountains in the Himalayas and the nearby Karakorams that have peaks higher than 8,000 metres (26,000 feet).
All of the peaks, including Shishapangma, are thought to be “death zones,” which means that they are above a certain height where there isn’t enough air for people to survive.
Most people agree that the marker is at about 8,000 metres, which is about the height where Gutu and Mingmar were when one of the avalanches that was seen on Shishapangma, the world’s 14th-highest mountain at 8,027 metres (26,335 feet), happened.
A climbing team found their bodies on Sunday, according to the Himalayan Times. As of 1:30 p.m. ET, Rzucidlo and her Nepalese mountain guide were still said to be missing.
The four were among 52 hikers from places like Britain, Romania, and Pakistan who were trying to reach the top when the avalanches happened. They were almost there when it snowed.
Nepalese mountain guide Karma Geljen Sherpa was also hit by the two natural disasters. He was helped down the mountain by rescues and is now said to be in safe condition.
The man who is still missing was part of a pair that broke the record for the fastest climb of all 14 mountains in July, doing it in just 92 days.
The old record was 189 days, which is more than twice as long as it took him and Kristin Harila, a 37-year-old Norwegian hiker.
Adventures of Gina Marie
At age 35, if he had been able to make it, he would have been the youngest climber to reach the top of all 14 peaks twice. The two of them had been climbing with Seven Summit Tracks.
Harila is a skilled climber with more than 160,000 social media fans. On Saturday, she revealed that she and members of her climbing team were on a plane to Nepal to help look for the two hikers.
Harila’s team said in a statement that her “thoughts and prayers are with [Tenjen] and his family,” quoting a story from The Himalayan Times.
More than 33,000 people follow Gutu on social media, where she is known as a skilled climber. She had been climbing with Elite Exped, a well-known climbing company started in 2017 by world-class Nepalese mountaineers.
Since then, the American who was born in Ukraine has had a lot of friends and fans visit her many social media accounts to show their support.
One message was from the famous Indian police officer Gurjot Singh Kaler and said, “Really miss you.” It breaks my heart to hear about the landslide. “You were one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.”
