Five Russian mountaineers who appeared to have slipped and fallen on the world’s seventh-highest peak have died, an expedition organiser in Nepal said Tuesday. The Russians were climbing 26,788-foot high Mount Dhaulagiri during Nepal’s autumn climbing season.


They had been reported missing since Sunday and a rescue helicopter spotted their bodies on Tuesday. No decision has been made about bringing the bodies down from the mountain, which would require extensive manpower and planning.
