The body of a missing Mongolian (53) was found on Mount Everest on Friday. His compatriot (31), with whom he climbed the highest mountain in the world, is still missing.
The duo had no local mountain guide. They had only booked oxygen bottles and support from the base camp with the expedition company. According to its own statement, the expedition company last had contact with the two men on Sunday evening, when they were climbing.
On Friday, a spokesperson for the Nepal Tourism Authority announced that the body of one of the men had been found. She was near the 8,849-meter summit. The dead man’s 31-year-old compatriot is still missing.
Bad weather delayed the search
In the spring, a particularly large number of people attempt to climb the enormous mountain in the Himalayas. Conditions are usually the best at this time. However, due to bad weather, the search for the two missing people was postponed for several days. For this year’s peak season, 419 mountaineers have been granted permits to climb Mount Everest.
