Mountain Climber

Nima Rinji Sherpa became the youngest climber to reach all 14 of the world’s tallest mountains, known as the “eight-thousanders.”

The five Russians went missing on October 6 during an attempt to summit the world's seventh-highest mountain Dhaulagiri, an 8,167-metre (26,795-foot) Himalayan peak.

Nepal's 18-year-old Nima Rinji Sherpa has become the youngest climber ever to scale each of the 14 tallest mountains (over 8,000 meters) in the world with his successful summit of Mt Shishapangma in China

Five Russian mountaineers were killed while climbing in Nepal, a tourism official said Tuesday, two days after the team lost contact while on the world's seventh-highest mountain, Dhaulagiri.

The mountaineers -- Michelle Theresa Dvorak from the USA and Fav Jane Manners from the United Kingdom -- were stranded since October 3.

Climbers recovered the body of a Pakistani porter from K2 mountain, a climbing federation confirmed Tuesday, a year after he died while other climbers made a record-breaking ascent.

French mountaineer Benjamin Vedrines counted every second as he made history's fastest-ever ascent of K2, but says he doesn't add up the growing number of records to his name.

One of two Japanese climbers was found dead and his body recovered from a mountain in Pakistan occupied Kashmir on Saturday, with a search ongoing for the second man, a government official said.

An Indian climber rescued from Everest has died in hospital, a Nepali tourism official said Tuesday, taking the number of fatalities this season on the world's highest mountain to eight.

The duo were part of a group of 15 who reached the summit of the world's highest mountain at 29,032 feet.

A Kenyan and a Nepali climber have died close to Everest's summit, tourism officials said Thursday, taking this season's toll on the world's highest mountain to at least four.

Nepali climber Phunjo Lama on Thursday reached Everest's summit in 14 hours and 31 minutes, smashing the record for the world's fastest ascent of the mountain by a woman.

Upon investigation, rangers were able to identify the fallen climber's location at 17,000 feet using data from his satellite communication device.

Rescuers found the body of one of two missing Mongolian climbers on Mount Everest on Friday, expedition organisers said, the first confirmed fatality on the world's highest peak this mountaineering season.

Nepal's Supreme Court has ordered the government to limit the number of mountaineering permits issued for Everest and other peaks, a lawyer confirmed Friday, just as expeditions prepare for the spring climbing season.
