According to local officials … Nirmal’s climbing team began their ascent on Wednesday and were last heard from Thursday around 9 AM. A rescue mission began Friday morning. 10 people — six Nepali citizens and four foreign climbers including American Sarah Mallory Geis — were killed in the avalanche.
Nirmal was the subject of the documentary “14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible” … in which he and his team attempted to climb all 14 mountains with elevation greater than 8,000 meters — or a little over 26K feet — in a record seven months. This list includes Mount Everest, K2, and Broad Peak.
Nirmal was 43.
RIP
