Hilaree Nelson Boyfriend: Who Is Jim Morrison?

Jim Morrison is widely known as the partner of US mountaineer Hilaree Nelson.

Based in Tahoe City, California, Jim Morrison has spent his entire life skiing and climbing in the Sierra Nevada.

Jim began spending ski seasons in Squaw in 1990, ultimately settling there permanently.

He quietly excels in most feats he attempts, whether it’s an Ironman triathlon or climbing El Capitan in Yosemite all while running his own custom home construction business in Tahoe.

Beginning with high peaks in Ecuador and Russia, Jim graduated to 8,000-meter peaks, drawn to the immensity of the challenge. He commenced with an attempt on Makalu, the world’s fifth-highest mountain, in 2015.

Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson have been dating for a couple of years but their relationship is obscure to the public.

In 2017, after skiing 14 of Telluride’s most difficult couloirs in just over two months with Hilaree, the pair were the first Americans to complete a ski descent of India’s 21,165-foot Papsura Peak.  Two weeks later, the couple headed to Denali in Alaska, where they climbed the Cassin Ridge and skied the Messner’s face.

In May 2018, Jim summited Cho Oyu and Mount Everest in the Himalaya. He skied a combined 11,000 vertical feet on both mountains, including a 7,000-foot line down Cho Oyu.

In October 2018, Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson became the first people to ski from the 27,940-foot summit of Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world. Their 7,000-vertical-foot ski line down the Lhoste Couloir is considered one of the most aesthetic descents among the world’s tallest mountains.

Morrison’s partner Hilaree Nelson is missing on the world’s eighth tallest peak after reportedly falling into a deep crevasse during a ski descent.

Hilaree earlier on Monday reached the summit of Mount Manaslu in Nepal with her partner Jim Morrison.

According to reports, Hilaree Nelson, 49, slipped and appeared to fall into a 2,000ft (600m) gap in the ice, known as a crevasse, only 15 minutes after reaching the summit of the 26,781ft peak.

Officials have not been able to conduct search operations due to foul weather. She is a mother of two.
