A mountaineer from Northern Ireland died while descending from the summit of the world’s 10th highest peak and an Indian climber is missing on the same mountain, climbing officials said on Tuesday.
Noel Hanna, who had climbed Mount Everest 10 times, scaled the 8,091 metres Annapurna peak in west Nepal on Monday and died overnight in Camp IV after descending from the peak.
He said an Indian climber, who fell into a crevasse on the lower reaches of Annapurna, has been missing since Monday. Annapurna peak in west Nepal, first climbed by Maurice Herzog of France in the early 1950s, is considered dangerous because of the risk of frequent avalanches.
