Christine Boskoff wan an American climber and owner of Mountain Madness. She was the only American woman to have reached the summits of six 8000-meters mountains. Her extensive climbing résumé includes the summits of six of the world’s 14 highest peaks: Everest (twice), Lhotse, Cho Oyu (twice), Broad Peak, Gasherbrum II, and Shishapangma. She had also climbed six of the Seven Summits. Moreover, she had an extensive record of unexplored first ascents, primarily in Tibet.
In November 2006, Boskoff and her climbing partner, Charlie Fowler, were climbing deep in a remote mountain valley in China. They were attempting a new route on Genyen, a 6000-meters beautiful sacred peak. Sadly, they were killed by a deadly avalanche. Fowler’s body was found a month and a half later while it took searchers more than seven months to find and retrieve the body of Boskoff.
In this video, Boskoff's life story, her tragic last ascent, and the ensuing search efforts are discussed at length.
