Businesswoman and mountaineer from Japan. Between 1982 and 1996 she was the second Japanese woman to climb all Seven Summits. Yasuko was trapped in a blizzard on Mt. Everest and died of exhaustion and exposure from the weather.
Her body was originally left on the South Col on Mount Everest, but it was recovered in 1997 and presumably returned to Japan.
