Ten climbers, including legendary British-Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja, perished in a deadly avalanche on Pakistan’s Broad Peak, shocking the global climbing community. Purja, famed for conquering all 14 eight-thousanders in just six months and celebrated as a Gurkha hero who summited Everest while serving in the British military, leaves behind an enduring legacy. His home country mourns deeply, with Nepal’s Prime Minister praising his courage and students lighting candles at his former school. Fellow Nepalese climbers like Pur Bahadur Gurung and Kili Pemba Sherpa—also elite veterans of the peaks—were among those lost, underscoring the profound impact these trailblazers had on mountaineering history. Their bravery continues to inspire generations.
