Sadly, after missing nearly 2 months, Tatum Morell's body was found. While climbing 12,500' Whitetail Peak, she apparently was caught in a rockslide and buried from sight. Searchers had covered the area several times but had not discovered her previously. RIP

Re: Missing Montana Hiker's Body Found
That sucks, but very believable. I was in that same area a week prior to her disappearance, and there was definitely a lot of spontaneous rockfall going on, and a lot of steep boulders/talus to cross if she was going for Whitetail couloir.
