Article is new enough, long enough, and very well referenced. The hook is short and interesting. However, the inline citation does not support the hook. Rather, the source from 2007 says Ian Woodall plans to build a cairn for her at 8500 meters. Consider either changing the hook or using a different source. DiverDave (talk) 00:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
The article is before the expedition left and is speaking in future tense. He planed to build a cairn but as this source, which was published after the expedition, says: "We slid her body over a ridge on the North Face, away from the prying eyes of other climbers." -- Esemono (talk) 01:11, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
