Fowler, who was climbing in China together with Christine Boskoff, seems to have been victim of an avalanche. Boskoff is still reported missing, but the chances of finding her buried beneath the avalanche are very high. The two American alpinists had been missing since the start of December. Fowler's body was transported to the Lengu monastery before being flown home, while the search for Boskoff has been suspended due to the difficult weather conditions and will probably start again in spring. Christine Boskoff and Charlie Fowler were two of the strongest and best known mountaineers in the world. Boskoff took over Mountain Madness after the Scott Fisher's tragic death in the storm on Everest 1996. Fowler, a UIAGM Mountain Guide who worked for M.M., was an experienced guide and a excellent photogrrapher and journalist.
