| Route Notes | From Indian Express - 27 May 2016 One of the Missing Indian Mountaineers on Everest Found Dead Meanwhile attempts are being made to locate another Indian climber, Goutam Ghosh, whose body was reportedly lying above 8000 metres on Everest. A 58-year-old Indian mountaineer, Paresh Chandra Nath, who went missing on Mount Everest nearly a week ago was found dead. Meanwhile attempts are being made to locate another Indian climber, Goutam Ghosh, whose body was reportedly lying above 8000 metres on Everest. According to Wangchu Sherpa, the managing director at Trekking Camp Nepal that managed the expedition, a team of six Sherpas retrieved the body of Paresh Chandra Nath above the camp IV. His body is being brought to the camp II. However, they could not move ahead from the higher camp to locate another missing climber Goutam Ghosh. "High wind forced the rescuers to descend from the Camp IV after locating Paresh Nath's body," Sherpa said. Other climbers who made it to summit early this week are reported to have seen the body of Ghosh. Nath and Ghosh were near the summit of the 8848-metre peak last Saturday when they lost contact with the rest of the four-member team, all of whom were Indians. Note: Subhas Paul also died in descent from the summit. Nath and Ghosh only climbed to about 8700m. Sunita Hazra, who only climbed to 8400m was rescued, but suffered severe frostbite. |
