The motionless pair were spotted in a rescue attempt, but the helicopter was forced to turn back.
Veteran mountaineers Kenro Nakajima and Kazuya Hiraide were attempting an ascent of Pakistan's K2 when they fell from a height of 7,500m.
But on July 27 “they fell from a height of 7,500m”, Alpine Club of Pakistan secretary Karrar Haidri said in a statement. “The pilot said the two men can be seen, but their status was unclear,” the firm said in a statement. “We are currently reviewing how we will rescue them.” The ACP said Mr Hiraide and Mr Nakajima had both won multiple Piolets d’Or awards – described as “the Oscars of climbing” – for their feats of sportsmanship.
