The entire search crew and the Inyo County Sheriff's Office extended their condolences to Qiu's family and friends at this difficult time, added Vaughn.

Qiu's companions could not locate her when they returned to Whitney Portal around midnight. The search and rescue started on Monday around 9 a.m. (16:00 GMT).

Mt. Whitney lies on the boundary of Sequoia National Park and Inyo National Forest and stands at 14,494 feet tall (4418 meeters). Easy accessibility makes it a prime destination for hikers and climbers.
