Challenger/Kit Carson Fatality
Few details have been released, and no official statement has been released from authorities yet.
A friend of the victim announced on the Saguache County Search and Rescue Facebook group that the 29 y/o missing hiker in the Challenger/Kit Carson area did not survive.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the friends and family members of the victim.

This is especially painful since she was able to alert for help before the fall. Condolences to friends and family.

Man, that is really bad news. She was so young. I was worried about her when I saw the search announcement with the weather coming in. Kit sure has claimed it's share of lives over the years.
If anyone that knows her reads this I am very sorry for your loss. RIP Madeline.

The summit is a source of power. The long view gives one knowledge and time to prepare. The summit, by virtue of the dizzying exposure, leaves one vulnerable. A bit of confidence and a dash of humility is all we get for our work. Yet to share these moments with friends is to be human. C. Anker

This really saddens me. I visited the memorial page and saw some of her photos. She looked like a super nice person. I'm very sorry for her family and friends.
