Canadian mountain runner Kalie McCrystal is missing after she sets out from the area of the Matterhorn and does not return. One report says she has not been seen since Tuesday, when she is heading for the peak of the famed mountain in the Alps. The missing climber’s disappearance is linked to her preparation for an attempt on the Matterhorn.
Context reported by outlets frames the trip as a record attempt. Global News says Athletics Canada is involved and describes her as preparing to pursue a Matterhorn record while on the Switzerland–Italy border. The Vancouver Sun describes the situation more generally as a mountain-running effort on the Matterhorn, without adding details beyond her last known departure and that she has not been seen since Tuesday. Across the accounts, both emphasize that her disappearance occurs during the climb/attempt period rather than after a completed return.
