On 27 December the body of Charlie Fowler that had been reported missing since early December was found at 5300m on the slopes of Mount Genyen, Sichuan, China.

Fowler, who was climbing in China together with Christine Boskoff, seems to be engulfed in the avalanche. Christine has not found yet, but experts do not lose hope.

Fowler's body was transported to the Lengu monastery before being flown home, while the search for Christine has been suspended due to the bad weather and probably will be start again in spring.

Christine Boskoff and Charlie Fowler were two of the strongest American mountaineers. After the Scott Fisher's tragic death in the storm on Everest 1996 Boskoff took over Mountain Madness. Fowler, a UIAGM Mountain Guide who worked for M.M., was an experienced guide and a excellent photographer and journalist.
