Hilaree Nelson is famously known for her career as a ski mountaineer.
Nelson’s profession is viewed as risky by some, so when she went missing in September 2022, many people became concerned.
Who is ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson?
On December 13, 1972, renowned ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson was born.
The 49-year-old initially gained notoriety in 2012 when she created history by becoming the first woman to climb two 8000-meter peaks in a single 24-hour effort.
She has since scaled numerous heights and, in 2018, was chosen captain of The North Face Athlete Team.
Men’s Journal also named Nelson one of the most adventurous women of the last 25 years and she was National Geographic’s 2018 Adventurer of the Year, according to her biography.
When Nelson is not hiking, she can often be found posting about her life on Instagram to over 71,000 followers.
While on an expedition in Nepal, Nelson went missing.
