49-year-old Renu Fotedar, who hailed from Srinagar and is now settled in Australia, was among several mountaineers consumed by the killer avalanche. Like many Kashmiri Pandit migrants, Renu's journey from the Valley took here to Delhi before she migrated to Australia after her marriage.
A lover of adventure sports, Renu had climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania last year before embarking on her ambitious plan to conquer the world's highest peak — Mt Everest. Known to be chirpy among her circle of friends, Renu posted her last picture on Facebook along with her Japanese friends as she set out to climb Mt Everest.
Meanwhile, helicopters were deployed on Monday to rescue climbers still stranded high on Mount Everest. Three helicopters were sent for about 150 climbers trapped at Camps One and Two after Saturday’s avalanche sent down slabs of ice and snow, cutting them off from base camp below, the Nepalese officials said.
