One week ago today, we lost a dear friend and an inspiration to the climbing and splitboarding community. On September 29th, AAI Guide Liz Daley was killed in an avalanche in Patagoina while on a photo shoot.

We announced this tragic news last Wednesday when Dunham Gooding, the American Alpine Institute’s Director wrote this blog.
