Canadian woman's body still on Everest EVEREST BASE CAMP, Nepal, May 26 (UPI) -- A team of Sherpas left the body of a Canadian woman at the South Col on the Nepal side of Mount Everest after bringing it a short way down the mountain. Shriya Shah-Klorfine, 33, of Toronto died last Saturday of altitude sickness after reaching the summit of the world's highest mountain. She collapsed soon after she began the descent. Ganesh Thakuri, who heads the recovery team, said he is unsure when they can make another try, The Globe and Mail of Toronto reported. Thakuri said the body was at the Balcony, a three-hour climb from the South Col and not far below the summit. Bruce Klorfine, who plans to travel to Nepal next week, hopes to have a funeral for his wife in her homeland, followed by cremation. Darren Klorfine, his brother, said he is worried the monsoon season is about to arrive. That will close Everest to climbers for months. "I'm concerned that the weather window is closing," he said. I think my brother will have a lot more peace once this is all settled and over with. Shah-Klorfine, who was born in Kathmandu, had been obsessed with climbing Everest since her childhood, the newspaper said.
