Nimsdai Lost on Broad Peak | Auckland News

Tragedy strikes the mountaineering world as Nirmal Purja, the legendary 43-year-old climber known as Nimsdai — famed for conquering all 14 eight-thousanders in under seven months and star of the Netflix documentary “14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible” — was killed in a devastating avalanche on Broad Peak. Ten climbers, including teammates from Nepal, Pakistan, Oman, the U.S., and China, were caught in the disaster. Search teams have located the bodies, but recovery is perilously difficult due to Pakistan’s limited high-altitude rescue capabilities. With Broad Peak notoriously treacherous and Purja’s record unmatched, his loss sends shockwaves through the climbing community and beyond.
