New York times, Jan. 28, 2018 (Elizabeth Ann Hawley; born Nov. 9, 1923, Chicago, died Friday [Jan. 26, 2018], Kathmandu, Nepal; aged 94; American journalist who chronicled Mount Everest expeditions for more than 50 years and whose attention to detail and sharp sense of humor inspired fear and respect among climbers. Though she never scaled a mountain herself, Ms. Hawley endeared herself to many climbers. To maintain accuracy in her records, she grilled mountaineers before and after summit attempts, traveling to their hotels to ask what they had seen at the top and to catch the occasional fibber. She conducted more than 15,000 interviews.)
