Summary
Purja, who led the expedition and was widely known as Nims Dai, had previously climbed the world's 14 highest peaks in a record 189 days in 2019, an achievement featured in the Netflix documentary "14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible." His record was broken in 2023. All 10 climbers swept away in Avalanche in Pakistan have died. The expedition was Geis’ first try at an 8,000m peak in Pakistan, while it was expected to be the final one for Sakhi, a guide for the company, as well as a geographer and high-altitude photographer who had climbed some of the world’s major peaks, according to the Moving Mountains website.
Furthermore, Accidents are common on climbing expeditions in northern Pakistan because of avalanches, falling ice and rock, high altitude and rapidly changing weather. The expedition included five Nepalese climbers, the Omani and American climbers, Pakistani climber Sohail Sakhi, a Chinese climber identified only as Wang and another foreign climber whose identity has not been released. The team lost contact with their base camp on Thursday after an avalanche struck Broad Peak as they attempted to scale the mountain, Haidri said on Friday.
In addition, A local police official, Tahir Khan, said the remains of Omani climber Nathira Ahmed were being flown to the capital, Islamabad, while the bodies of American climber Mallory Geis and Nepalese climber Bahadur Gurung remained at a hospital in Skardu, the main city in Pakistan's northern Gilgit-Baltistan region. Moving Mountains, a travel company based in Pakistan, announced late last month that the expedition team was on its way to the small town of Askole and wished them a safe journey climbing Broad Peak. Purja had already climbed all 14 eight-thousanders within six months and six days in 2019.
Moreover, To make it famous was climbed in 189 days of the 14 highest peaks in the world: all peaks over 8,000 meters that Nims Dai reached in 2019 in a series of expeditions that were at the center of a documentary broadcast on TV a couple of years later.
