Athletics Canada says one of its members has gone missing while attempting to break a mountain-running record in the Alps along the Switzerland-Italy border.
The national sport governing body says in a statement that Kalie McCrystal was last seen Tuesday.
It says the skyrunner and mountaineer was climbing Italy’s Matterhorn, a roughly 4,481-metre-tall, horn-shaped peak overlooking the Swiss town of Zermatt.
The statement says McCrystal has many years of experience in technical, high-altitude environments, and has climbed the Matterhorn before.
“This was therefore not her first ascent of the mountain,” it said.
