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.

And here is a wonderful article she wrote for Teton Gravity Research, which we reposted on our blog.
