French climber dies on Nepal's Mt. Makalu
A French climber died on Mount Makalu, the world's fifth-highest peak, expedition organizers said Tuesday, the second fatality of this year's spring climbing season and both on the same mountain.
Johnny Saliba, 60, died at an altitude of 8,120 metres (26,640 feet) during his summit push on Sunday.
"He was heading to the summit but his guide brought him down after he suffered symptoms of altitude sickness. And then he passed away," said Bodha Raj Bhandari, expedition organizer at Snowy Horizon Treks and Expedition.
