The 48-year-old summited the 8,100-metre Himalayan mountain yesterday with at least 31 others but failed to return to the nearest camp, a kilometre below the peak. “Details of the climber’s condition are not clear, but his guide said it was impossible to bring him down by himself. We are aware of his location,” Guragain said.Some team members waited at the camp for extra oxygen in the hope of reaching the man but efforts to send a helicopter with supplies were hampered by bad weather.Annapurna is technically difficult and avalanche-prone and has a higher death rate than Everest, the world’s highest peak.
