 Two American Mountaineers, Charlie Fowler and Christine Feld-Boskoff are missing in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of western Sichuan (Kham). They were last heard since Nov. 7 and didn't catch their flight back to USA. Since they didn't register their plans in local Mountaineering Association, no one knows their exact location. Local police are searching for them.

The body of Charlie Fowler was found and it is believed that Christine Feld-Boskoff must be buried under the heavy snow.

May They Rest In Peace!

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. This may give some warning to the tourists. Please be preapared particularlly well before traveling. Sometimes risks and challenges may bring us more excitment in the life, but we have to be more careful and cherish our life. please find a group, especially some expert mountaineers when climbing the mountains, and follow the advice of the guide.
