Terrible news has come of an awful avalanche on Broad Peak Pakistan, one of the world’s 8,000+ metre peaks.
Alas one of the deceased, is Nadhira Al Harthy. Some of you may remember my interview with her in Adventure She magazine.
She was an amazing mountaineer, and had submitted a few 8000+ peaks, including K2 as well as Everest. She was the second ever Omani and first woman from Oman to climb Everest.
She was so generous with her time when we chatted, so inspiring, so courageous, so wanting others to live their best life.
Two other people are also confirmed dead and several others including Nirmal ‘Nims’ Purja who set the record for the fastest ascent of all 14 of the 8,000m peaks, are still missing.
My deepest condolences go to everyone impacted, especially of course to the family of the wonderful Nadhira Alharthy. I am so very sorry for your loss.
