(CNN) Mandy Moore posted about her and her friends hiking to Mount Everest's base camp around the time an American lawyer became the 11th person to die during the climbing season.

In a long posting on her official Instagram account Monday the "This Is Us" star shared several photos of herself and a group of friends making to the camp. The group was accompanied by their guide, Melissa Reid, who Moore lauded in her post for being the first American woman to ascend and descend Everest without oxygen

"There is so much magic in these mountains," Moore wrote in the caption. "They represent adventure in the grandest form and in a language all their own."

On Monday Christopher John Kulish, 62, died after reaching the top of Everest on the Nepalese side of the mountain in the morning, Meera Acharya, the Director of Nepal's Tourism Department told CNN.
