The remains of American climber Sarah Mallory Geis are found after an avalanche on Pakistan’s Broad Peak, according to reports describing the ongoing rescue operation. Authorities and rescue teams had responded after at least 10 mountaineers were caught in the avalanche while climbing in the area. Search efforts continue for other climbers who remain missing, with teams working in difficult conditions typical of high-altitude mountain rescues.
Broad Peak is part of the Karakoram range and has drawn international climbing parties. The reports note that Geis is the first climber accounted for following the avalanche, while other mountaineers have not yet been located. The rescue work involves coordination among local responders and mountaineering-related support as they search the slope and surrounding areas where the avalanche occurred. No additional details about the number of confirmed dead beyond Geis are provided in the accounts summarized here, and the search remains active for those still unaccounted for.
