Canadian skyrunner and mountaineer Kalie McCrystal has been missing on the Matterhorn since Tuesday, September 1. The British Columbia native was allegedly attempting to set a new speed record for climbing and descending the iconic 14,692-foot (4,478-meter) peak. McCrystal had reached the summit and was descending the mountain’s Italian route along the Lion’s Ridge toward Cervinia when contact was lost. […]
A mountain runner climbs up the Matterhorn alone and publishes a photo at a height of around 4,000 metres. After that, the contact breaks off. Now in Italy, rescue workers are looking for her.
The last track of the runner Kalie McCrystal is a photo that portrays her over the Carrel Hut. On social media she had written: "Cross your fingers for me"
