Renowned climber among missing after Pakistan avalanche

Renowned Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja is among ten climbers missing after an avalanche on Broad Peak in northern Pakistan. The Alpine Club of Pakistan reported that the team, which included climbers from Nepal, Pakistan, Oman, the U.S., China, and another foreign nation, has been out of contact since the incident. Purja, known for breaking climbing records such as completing all 14 'eight-thousanders' in under seven months and leading the first winter ascent of K2, was on a climbing expedition when the disaster occurred. Rescue operations are underway with the assistance of Pakistan Army helicopters. Broad Peak, at 8,047 meters, is considered one of the most technically demanding climbs in the world.
