The celebrated climber Nirmal Purja and the nine other members of a mountaineering expedition group have died after they were caught in an avalanche on one of the highest peaks on earth.
“It is with profound sadness and immense heartbreak that we confirm that Mirmal ‘Nimsdai’ Purja tragically lost his life following the avalanche on Broad Peak,” Purja’s company Elite Expeditions said in a statement. Broad Peak is a 26,414 foot mountain in Northern Pakistan.
