A horrified group of hikers discovered their friend was missing after hearing her screams as she fell 1,000 feet down a mountain.
Mariacristina Masocco, 26, from the town of Feltre, Italy, died when she plummeted off the edge of a cliff while climbing the Punta del Comedon in the Dolomite mountains on Sunday.
She had walked ahead of the group on their descent down the 7,600ft peak after they reached the summit at around 4pm, with the three others remaining together at a spot behind her.
