Some confusion here? Google translate makes getting the details a bit hard (at least for me). Is this the same incident detailed here? This woman is from Idaho.

Yesterday the news of an incident on the Matterhorn where a woman lost her life due to a lightning strike, a rogue companion who, however, managed to call for relief. They were open climbers, who had already gone to the Matterhorn.

We heard Lucio Trucco, manager of Theodulo Refuge, mountain guide of the Matterhorn and rescuer for many years: "The two boys, a Nevada man and woman, slept Friday night at Teodulo Refuge. We talked about the Matterhorn for almost an hour, I told him to make sure there was snow, hail, to be careful of thunderstorms. However, they left Saturday morning to go to the Carrel hut, where they slept. Sunday morning they left to make the Matterhorn on the Italian side and then get off the Swiss, "he tells us.

"They had to use the crampons due to snow for the hailstorms of the day before, and the climb times widened and so they did late, reaching the summit around 19.30 / 20.00 in the middle of the storm. A lightning struck them when they were attached to the cross, she died immediately, he was traumatized, but managed to call for relief. We were unable to intervene because the weather was bad, they went to Air Zermatt at half past one night and retrieved the dead girl and he was in serious conditions for hypothermia and trauma, "explains Trucco.

"Bad weather was expected, they knew, but they probably believed coming to the top before the storm, but they did not do it for the snow condition. They came from America and wanted to go up and try it, not giving so much importance to the weather because in summer the thunderstorm is thunderstorm, but those days have been a bit special, very intense.
