Robin Haynes Fisher, 44, died at 8 700 metres after returning from the summit, said Murari Sharma of Everest Pariwar Treks in Kathmandu.
Kathmandu - A British climber died on Mount Everest on Saturday, bringing the death toll this season on the world's highest peak to 10, officials said.
"He had descended about 150 metres below the summit when he suddenly collapsed. His Sherpa guide tried to rescue him, but he had already died," said Sharma. That same day, Nepalese guide Dhurba Bista, 33, died at the base camp after being airlifted from a higher camp following illness, according to his employer, Anil Bhattarai of Himalayan Ecstasy Treks.
