The body of a famed extreme skier who grew up in Seattle and died on Mount Manaslu was recovered Wednesday and transported to Nepal's capital. Hilaree Nelson, 49, went missing Monday while skiing down from the 8,163-meter (26,775-foot) summit of Mount Manaslu, the world’s eighth-highest mountain, with her partner, Jim Morrison. Nelson and Morrison reached the true summit of Mount Manaslu at 10:42 a.m. in "tough conditions," Morrison said Wednesday in an Instagram post. The couple transitioned to skiing in cold and wind, planning to regroup with their sherpa team around the corner. Morrison started skiing down and Nelson followed, triggering a small avalanche, Morrison said. More on king5.com, link in bio. #king5 #seattle
