Ondrej Húserka Dies After First Ascent of Langtang Lirung’s East Face
Ondrej Húserka was descending from Langtang Lirung (7,234m/23,734ft) with his climbing partner, Czech alpinist Marek “Mara” Holeček. The men had spent six days pioneering the first ascent of the peak’s 2,220-meter East Face. Several earlier pushes, including one with another Czech alpinist, Ondra Mrklovský, had ended in rain and avalanches.
When the pair summited at 11 a.m. on October 30, “all the romance of the experience was condensed into these few exceptional seconds,” wrote Holeček.
