Story summary

The family of Kalie McCrystal, a renowned Canadian skyrunner and mountaineer, believes she fell to her death while descending the Matterhorn in the Alps on September 1, 2026. McCrystal, who is from Squamish, British Columbia, was last seen attempting to break a mountain-running record along the Switzerland-Italy border. The family issued a statement saying that everything they know after an extensive search suggests she fell during her descent of the 4,481-metre-tall Matterhorn. Search and rescue efforts led by the Guardia di Finanza were unable to locate her despite mobilizing international support. Her loved ones described McCrystal as a determined and fun-loving individual whose absence will be deeply felt in the communities she was part of, particularly in skyrunning circles.
