3 climbers die on Mountain Everest
May 24, 2016
Three climbers have died in the last four days while attempting to climb the world’s highest mountain – Mount Everest.
The latest death was an Indian man who died while Sherpa guides were helping him descend.
Two other Indian climbers who were with the man are missing in the so-called “death zone” near the summit.
Earlier in the week an Australian couple suffered altitude sickness. The woman died, while the man has been flown to the Nepal’s capital Kathmandu. He is in a critical condition.
