American climber and Nepalese guide killed in attempt to scale world’s 14th tallest peak
Avalanches have struck the slopes of the Tibetan mountain Shishapangma as more than 50 climbers were making a push for the summit, killing an American and Nepalese mountaineer, China’s state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Shishapangma, at just over 8,000 metres (26,247ft), is the world’s 14th tallest peak. It is widely regarded as one of the least difficult mountains of that height, known among climbers as the “eight-thousanders”.
