Missing Mountain Runner on the Matterhorn | Vancouver News

Kalie McCrystal, the fearless Canadian mountain runner and lawyer known for smashing skyrunning records, is missing on the Matterhorn after vanishing near the Jean-Antoine Carrel hut on September 1st. A determined search, including suspended helicopter operations, has turned up nothing — but her community, friends, and global climbing circles hold fast to hope. With a proven track record of conquering the Alps — including a solo ascent and descent under seven hours earlier this year — McCrystal was aiming for a sub-five-hour speed record. Her grit, skill, and love for extreme terrain make her disappearance all the more heart-stopping. Global Affairs Canada is coordinating with Swiss authorities as Squamish waits, united in prayer for her safe return.
