Stanford Mourns Grad Student Killed In Yosemite Fall
PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The Stanford community Tuesday was mourning a graduate student killed during the weekend in a climbing accident in Yosemite National Park. 31-year-old Christina Chan was an experienced free climber who had earned a biochemistry degree at Harvard and a Masters degree in engineering from Stanford and was on her way to her doctorate. Friends said she was brilliant, but humble and hard-working. "She would be at the ba<x>se of the rock, doing homework," Chan's friend Linnea Williams said, "And then for one climb, jump on and do something really hard, and then sit back down and study some more.” Chan's friends were leaning on each other after her death Friday afternoon. She was in the high country of Yosemite National Park, descending a tall finger of granite known as Eichorn Peak when she fell several hundred feet. Chan and her climbing partner were "free soloing"-- climbing without ropes or safety protection, something only the most skilled climbers do. He watched helplessly as she fell. "She, like everyone else out here, knew the risks and she loved climbing," said Chan's climbing partner, Jim Castelaz. "And even now, I'm sure she wouldn't apologize." "For her, it was her freedom. It was her life,” Chan's friend, Blase Iuliano, said. “At one point, she climbed down a route and someone asked how it was, and her response was ‘It was like chocolate.’ She just loved it." On her website, Chan wrote there was nothing she loved more than "moments spent on steep granite faces." She'd scaled many mountains, and as part of Stanford's Alpine Club, she'd taught climbing to others. "She was so generous," friend Natalie Dye said of Chan. "She loved to teach and loved climbing and getting other people involved." "She would walk into a group of people and start talking and hanging out, and then everyone would kind of get happier," said friend Chris McGuiness. As fellow climbers, Chan's friends know few people can understand why she'd take such risk. "She talked a lot about how already the things she's done in her life, all the friends she's made and climbs she's done, would make it worth it if anything happened," said friend Paul Csonka. In Yosemite photos, Chan is but a speck on the face of El Capitan, a mountain she scaled and slept alone on many times. Friends will never know where Chan's life would have led, but they said they were certain it would have been fearless. <stopindex>
