American climber dies on Everest, Indian missing

By Gopal Sharma | KATHMANDU



An American climber on Mount Everest died on Sunday, officials said, the third death on the world's highest mountain in the past month and raising safety concerns for climbers.

Roland Yearwood, 50, from Alabama, perished at an altitude of about 8,400 meters (27,500 feet) in an area called "death zone" which is known for thin air, Murari Sharma of the Everest Parivas trekking company that sponsored his climb said.

"We have confirmation of his death but no other details are known," Sharma told Reuters in Kathmandu. "It is also unclear if he was on his way up or down from the summit," he said.

Yearwood was part of a 16-member team led by American climber Dan Mazur that is climbing the normal Southeast Ridge route from the Nepali side of the mountain.

Yearwood's death comes a day after 26-year-old Indian climber Ravi Kumar went missing in the same area during his descent from the peak.

Kumar got separated from his guide near a place called Balcony on Saturday, Thupden Sherpa of the Arun Treks and Expedition company that sponsored Kumar's team said in Kathmandu on Sunday.

"Three sherpa rescuers have been sent to search for Kumar," Thupden said, adding the climber had been out of contact.

On April 30, a famed Swiss climber fell to his death near Mount Everest during preparations to climb the world's highest mountain, while an 85-year-old Nepali man died at the base camp earlier this month while trying to set a record for the oldest climber.

Nepal has cleared 371 mountaineers to climb Mount Everest during the current season ending this month.​

Dolomites. That pic probably appears in the first few pages of the thread. One of the greatest climbing ares, so much fun, because it's via ferrata, ladders for the hard moves and cables for protection. Like a giant rocky jungle gym for grownups. Lady P wants to go for her 50th birthday adventure. I wanna scoot north and visit Liechtenstein, because who the hell ever goes to Liechtenstein?

Sweet! I've never been to Cham. It's funny, all those years I was doing all that climbing, and I never made it to either the Alps or Yosemite. The twin Meccas of the climber. Foolish, really, always thinking I needed to be better to really appreciate them...so I missed them.

This conference in 2018 should have been in another place. I'm just hoping I have time to go.
 
Proximity to geological climbing frame?
Because the 'Shining' was filmed there?
Because, after an encounter of the 3rd kind youve been fantically modelling it trying to find out why and now you just HAVE to be there?
It was the cheapest Trivago deal?
Theres a Swashbuckling lederhosen show most nights?
Sigh.... I give up.. Why?


:D
