Jennifer Shedden, 34, and Michelle Xue, 22, were well-equipped for climbing the steep mountain segment, but officials believe the pair was struck by falling rocks and killed.
The two set off Saturday to climb the mountain. They did not return at their intended time Sunday.
On Monday, a search-and-rescue team discovered the two women about midway down the climbing route.
