Mizuki Takahashi twice climbed Mount Rainier solo.
Mizuki Takahashi didn't start climbing mountains until she was in her 30s. But once she did, she quickly became an elite climber, admired for her athleticism, her smarts and her focus.
In seven years, she successfully reached about 50 peaks, almost never the same one twice. When she wasn't working, she was climbing, or training to climb. Her friends joked that she never sat down to eat a single meal at her kitchen table. Mostly, she dined in her car, on the way to a climb or back.
Ms. Takahashi and Brian Massey fell May 17 while climbing Mount McKinley in Alaska. Ms. Takahashi died at the scene. She was 36. Mr. Massey died the next morning.
