Purja’s Body Recovered on Broad Peak | Richmond News

Tragic avalanche on Broad Peak claims the life of Nirmal Purja, climbing legend and record-breaker who scaled all 14 eight-thousanders in under seven months. His remains, along with those of Wang Zhong, Nima Sherpa, and Kili Pemba Sherpa, were recovered by ground teams after a deadly storm grounded helicopters. Four others were found earlier but only three—Omani Nathira Ahmed, American Mallory Geis, and Nepalese Bahadur Gurung—could be retrieved. Search continues for two missing climbers as the mountaineering world mourns the loss of an icon whose courage inspired millions.
