Is that important? One misstep. She broke her leg half a year before.

The article implies she is stranded due to the broken leg - I think HOW the leg was broken would be relevant to the post. Are you intimating that she was camped halfway down a summit for another reason?

No, I'm saying she broke her leg again. Likely it wasn't fully healed from previous brake. That's all. Nevertheless she decided to go, which is challenging even for best and well prepared climbers. In other words it's not a big surprise. BTW, she is confirmed dead.

There’s unverified information that her guide slipped and dragged her down, at which moment she broke her leg. However I won’t trust it, because most news outlets telling this also mix up other facts and don’t mention the source. It just happens there, on one of the most dangerous mountains in the world. There were other deaths this year, the only difference is that she didn’t die within hours and was stuck there for a while.
