Famed mountaineer Nirmal Purja is missing after avalanche in Pakistan

Famed British mountaineer Nirmal Purja, a former Royal Marine and recipient of an MBE, is missing after an avalanche struck Pakistan's Broad Peak during an expedition. The incident occurred on Thursday, with the snowslide hitting the 8,047-meter mountain in the Karakoram range. Purja, known as 'Nims,' led a team consisting of climbers from multiple countries, including Pakistan, China, the U.S., Oman, and Nepal. As of Friday, four bodies had been recovered, and rescuers continue searching for the remaining six. Officials emphasized efforts to deploy helicopters and rescue resources, though weather conditions remain a challenge. Purja gained international recognition for completing the '14 Peaks' challenge, climbing all 14 of the world's highest mountains above 8,000 meters in just 189 days, a feat documented in a Netflix series.
