A Tribute to Miki Ohashi (1974 – 2007)

Miki Ohashi from Japan, passed away during a tragic scrambling accident in the Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada on October 16^th, 2007.

She was a good friend and together we participated in many mountain activities during 2006 and 2007. I consider it a privilege to have had the opportunity to have met Miki and experience the great outdoors with her.
I first met Miki during a group scrambling trip on the 18^th July, 2006. Since then we shared in more adventures together consisting of scrambling, snowshoeing, camping and hiking.
Miki was passionate about the outdoors and loved the mountains. She was also a superb cook, and hugely caring and kind person. Her enthusiasm and commitment in exploring the Canadian Rockies often overflowed onto others, encouraging them also to push themselves further.

I will miss Miki's friendship as will all of her friends and family. She died doing what she loved.
I have great memories and a huge respect for my friend. I will sincerely miss her.
