Avalanche of Grief on Pakistan's High Ground A devastating avalanche in Pakistan's Gilgit Baltistan region has claimed the lives of renowned Nepali climber Nirmal Purja and nine others on Broad Peak.
This tragedy highlights the risks inherent to pushing human endurance to its limits, as well as the complexities of mountaineering in a rapidly changing climate.
