Two Japanese climbers are found dead after going missing while climbing in Nepal’s Himalayas, with rescuers recovering their bodies after more than a week. The Kathmandu Post says the climbers were missing around 7,050 metres while attempting Nepal’s 7,455-metre Gangapurna.
Other outlets provide additional expedition context. Japan Times reports the pair were attempting what it describes as the first summit of Gangapurna West (7,140 metres) and that they lost contact after Oct. 15. NDTV and IOL similarly focus on the recovery of the bodies on Friday, describing the men as missing for over a week on a remote Himalayan mountain, citing an expedition organiser.
Across coverage, the core agreement is that two Japanese climbers died during an attempt on the Gangapurna massif in Nepal, and that their bodies were recovered after they had not been heard from for days. Differences mainly concern which specific Gangapurna peak and summit attempt details are highlighted.
