KATHMANDU, Nepal — Five Russian climbers who have been missing on Nepal's Mount Dhaulagiri since the weekend were found dead on the world’s seventh tallest mountain, their hiking company said on Tuesday. There had been no contact with the climbers, scaling the 8,167-meter (26,795-feet) peak without Sherpa guides, since Sunday night, when they reached a height of 7,700 meters (25,262 feet). "They might have been tied to the same rope," said Pemba, who goes by his first name. "One of them could have slipped on the slope and all five fell together." Mountain climbing in a key tourism activity in Nepal, home to eight of the world's 14 highest mountains, providing crucial employment and income.

CNN —Five members of a Russian expedition who went missing while attempting to climb Mount Dhaulagiri have been found dead, Russia’s embassy in Nepal told CNN on Tuesday. Initial investigations suggested the group of Russian mountaineers died “as a result of falling down a slope,” the embassy said. Dhaulagiri – which translates from Sanskrit to mean “White Mountain” - is the world’s seventh-highest peak, standing 8,167 meters (26,795 ft) above sea level, in the Himalayas in central Nepal. The fatality rate of Dhaulagiri is slightly more than 16%, making it one of the most dangerous mountains to climb. The Russian Mountaineering Federation told CNN that the trip was organized by a private organization.

“They have become the fastest to climb all 14 peaks,” Tashi, told Reuters, quoting information from the base camp. Climbing all 14 highest peaks in a few months is a challenging feat, which is normally done by many climbers in years. They set the fastest climbing record by beating Nirmal Purja from Nepal who completed all peaks in six months and one week in 2019. "They have made a summit a short while ago," Madison told Reuters adding that the Norwegian woman was "extremely tough mentally and physically". One of the sherpas, the 17-year-old Nima Rinjin Sherpa, also becomes the youngest to climb K2, Tashi said.

A Sherpa fell on Carlos Soria, injuring his tibia, a message posted on his behalf on his Twitter and Facebook accounts said. The climber, who was on his 15th attempt on Mt Dhaulagiri, was preparing to make a push for the summit when the incident occurred, the Himalayan Times newspaper said. Sherpa guides were bringing him down to base camp, for him to be evacuated to Kathmandu by helicopter, Guragai added. Soria has successfully climbed 12 of the world's 8,000-metre peaks and had the Dhaulagiri and Tibet's Shishapangma left to become the oldest climber to reach the summits of the planet's 14-highest peaks.
