Chinese media reports have confirmed American mountaineer Anna Gutu and a Nepalese guide Mingmar Sherpa have died after avalanches struck the slopes of the Tibetan mountain Shishapangma while two others remain missing
American mountaineer Anna Gutu and a Nepalese guide Mingmar Sherpa were confirmed Sunday dead after avalanches struck the slopes of a Tibetan mountain, while two others remained missing, according to Chinese media reports. The avalanches struck Tibet’s Mount Shishapangma on Saturday afternoon at 7,600 and 8,000 meters in altitude, according to state-owned Xinhua News Agency.
The avalanches also seriously injured Nepalese mountain guide Karma Geljen Sherpa, who was escorted down the mountain by rescuers and is currently in stable condition. A total of 52 climbers from various countries including the U.S., Britain, Japan, and Italy were attempting to summit the mountain when the avalanches hit, Xinhua said. Climbing activities have since been suspended due to snow conditions. Shishapangma is the 14th-highest mountain in the world, at over 8,027 meters above sea level.

Spokesman Matthew Miller said: “The department will not tolerate the Russian government’s pattern of harassment of our diplomats.'
