: A 54-year-old Nepali climber known as “Everest Man” reached the peak of the world’s highest mountain for a record 30th time on Wednesday, three decades after his first summit.
But celebrations were overshadowed after a Romanian mountaineer was confirmed dead, and a British climber and Nepali guide were reported missing -- the latest casualties highlighting the risks of the sport.Since then he has climbed Everest almost every year, guiding clients. “He was found dead in his tent on Camp Three on Monday morning by his guide,“ said Mohan Lamsal of Makalu Adventure, naming the climber as Gabriel Viorel Tabara.“We are making efforts to bring his body down,“ he said.
Two more climbers, one French and one Nepali, have died this season on Makalu, the world's fifth-highest peak.
