Hannelore Schmatz. On October 2, 1979, 39-year-old Hannelore Schmatz and her team led by her husband, had reached the summit of Mount Everest via the southern route.

After about 20 years, the wind pushed Schmatz’s body into a valley below where it remains to this day. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO .
